Dominican Republic Youth Volunteer Efforts (DRYVE). We are an organization committed to enriching, inspiring, and protecting the well being of underprivileged children worldwide. *Our mission is to provide those children who are less fortunate with the essential tools, skills, and opportunities needed to grow and develop to their true physical, intellectual, and social potential. Our first project took place in the impoverished community of Arroyo Blanco, located in the northern region of the Dominican Republic. The strategy that we implemented to accomplish our mission consisted of aiding elementary school children in this community by:
• Building a fence around the perimeter of the school in order to provide safety for the children.
• Constructing a playground so that students can participate in physical and social activities during their recess which is critical for their psychosocial development.
• Providing school supplies for the students, which are essential for education but cannot be afforded by their families.
• Mentoring these students on the priceless value of education and the importance of positive decision making.
Saying Thank you to each and everyone that supported DRYVE to make this dream a reality. Thanks for your contribution. Weeeeepa! Go DRYVE!!! Alternative Spring Break Project 2009
