Hola Amigos!

We hope you are having a wonderful summer and staying cool wherever you are. It sure is a hot one here in the Dominican Republic!

DOVE is so excited to announce that we are partnering with an orphanage in Cap Haitian, Haiti, alongside Father Andre, a Haitian Catholic priest, and his team of "home mothers". Our new home, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Orphanage, is currently home to 13 children with 3 more arriving in the coming weeks. These children have come from all over the island and Father Andre is so excited to partner with DOVE and continue to provide shelter, safety and love to many children in the Cap Haitian area.

Together, Father Andre and DOVE, are planning a trip from August 6th-14th for volunteers interested to come and stay in the newly opened orphanage, live among the children, decorate the home to feel more "cozy", aid in any basic tasks with the children around the home, work on a small construction project and above all, love on those children! That's the thing they crave the most - and thing we're most equipped to give!

The cost for the whole trip will be $1,200 which will include a workshop day at the Youth Development Center in Puerto Plata along with a excursion vacation day, all transportation to and from Haiti, and in and around the orphanage, food for the trip, and project expenses. Extra personal spending money and the flight will not be included.

DOVE is so excited to get volunteers signed up and committed to go - we can't wait to get started! To sign up or get more information contact Melissa Bazely at 829-788-1566 or email her at mbazely@sympatico.ca.

Sign up today - space is limited!

Sincerely,

DOVE Missions
