A MESSAGE FROM THE COLEGIO KIDS BOARD:
I am writing on behalf of Colegio Kids and scholarship recipients at Colegio San Esteban. I want to thank those donors to our recent FaceBook fund-raising drive who contributed generously to our scholarship program for Dominican school children.
Colegio Kids is relatively new to “electronic giving”, so we were gratified by the results of this fund drive. Ultimately, once all our results were in, we forwarded $10,000 to the Diocese of the Dominican Republic that was earmarked for student scholarships at Colegio San Esteban in the city of San Pedro de MacorÍs. Enrollments are returning to pre-Covid levels at the school, thanks in large part to support we provided this year.
Please return to this website in the next few weeks to view a file of photos, thank you letters (translated to English) and information sheets for some of the students who benefitted directly from your gifts. We will continue to post photos of Colegio San Esteban “in action” that should give you a better sense of the good things happening at the school.
Once again, thank you for your donation.
Gracias y Bendiciones. Thanks and Blessings.
Tom McGowan
