Jeffrey and Stephany's Mom was at the Center one day with the Girls Club, helping to teach the girls how to use this newly donated toy that paints nails!

Halloween

Dove was able to get a huge donation of Halloween costumes and threw a giant party for the kids on the afternoon of Halloween, during Saturday Boys and Girls Club. The kids, as you can see, had a blast!

Stefany: September

Here is little miss Stefany, modeling her new hair pom poms that one of the mothers is making.

School Starts

School starts in the Dominican Republic at the end of August. Children attend school either in the morning or the afternoon- not for full days, like we do in Canada and the United States. Both kids were provided with school uniforms courtesy of Dove Missions.

More About Them...

Written by a volunteer, Crystal Fox: I think that anyone who has been a volunteer with Dove recently, knows that you spend more time chasing Jeffrey and Stefany around then you do working with or teaching them :)They are both very young and have had a rough time at home, as their dad has been in prison for a crime his brother commited.Coming to the club allows them to just be kids and have fun.

Pool Party!

Liz, along with Jencen and Jenny (two Canadian volunteers in the DR for 2 weeks) took the girls of the Girls Club to a pool party! Little Stefany was excited to get to parcipate in this fun field trip with all the girls!
