Transforming lives. Over Spring Break, 18 WPGA students will have to opportunity to do just that. This year’s international outreach project will again be in Monte Cristi, Dominican Republic in partnership with Outreach 360, a grassroots organization that provides supplementary critical education opportunities to children living in economically disadvantaged area. (Children in the Dominican Republic are offered only two hours of public education a day, and most leave school by age 13!) Our students will teach children ages 6-12, working in a public school or in Outreach 360's Learning Centre.
As Director of Service, I am excited to see our students share their time and talents with those in need. This is a rich and rewarding learning experience for all involved, one that directly connects our students to the needs of the community and immerses them in the culture.
Help Us Help Them!
