Many tourists like to visit the schools in the Punta Cana area.
Having been in contact with various teachers, I have been asked that visitors come to the schools after 3 pm as not to disrupt the classes. School supplies are in short supply and they are gratefully accepting all donations of supplies. Please do not take cash as they have no way of providing proof of what they purchased and do not want to be susceptible to any fraudulent accusations.
BTBCF does not like to see children begging, thus have setup a distribution network to get supplies, clothes and donations to the needy in many regions of the Dominican Republic.
Beyond the Beach Children's Foundation www.beyondthebeach.ca have setup people in the different area to accept donations on behalf of the foundation and they will see that it gets to the right people.
OUR MISSION
"Our mission is clear: We encourage travelers to make their journeys more
than just vacations; to reach beyond the beach and assist us in equipping
the children of the Dominican Republic with the tools necessary for learning
and living, dreaming and achieving; to empower the children to free
themselves from the restraints of poverty & lack of opportunity, and decide
their own futures."
OUR VISION
"Our vision is simple: By the actions taken to reach beyond the beach, we
strive to make our efforts redundant and totally unnecessary at some
glorious future date. The happiest day of this foundation's life would be
the one when our efforts are not needed in any way to assist the children of
the Dominican Republic. Our own planned obsolescence is our ultimate
vision."
