Summer Photos

In July, during a 2 week trip to volunteer with DOVE, Jenny and Jencen met and fell in love with Jose Antonio and his family. They had a lot of fun with him and at the end of the trip, decided to sponsor him and his family. This will provide the family with vouchers for groceries every month.






Jose Antonio with his old teacher. He attended Conani school when he was younger- the only school in Puerto Plata that goes year round and provides free, all day care for the kids of underpriveleged families. This teacher was very fond of Jose Antonio and insisted on a picture of them together, requesting a copy of it to go in her house.

Wood Working

In July, Jose Antonio was able to participate in a special class on wood working. For several days, Jose Antonio went with Dove Missions and learned how to work with wood to make benches for the new club location. This is a great opportunity as knowing a trade can really help the kids in finding a job when they are older.

Their House

Jose Antonio's family own their own house, thanks to their church who assisted them in buying and building it.
