This year for the 17th year, thanks to the staff and supporters of Sosúa Kids, poor children receive school supplies in order to attend the new school year.
In the first year the volunteers of Sosúa Kids could only help 12 children with a school uniform and supplies.
In recent years that, thanks to the loyal donors, has become more and more!
This year as many as 455 children were handed out a voucher for which they could pick up a filled backpack at Casa Nelson store in Puerto Plata.
The vouchers were distributed not only in Sosúa, but also in six smaller communities, including Montellano and La Cienaga.
The school supplies include school uniforms, notebooks, books and writing materials.
It should not go unmentioned that students from Canada have brought all kinds of school supplies for the children.
