Urgent Needs in Batey Atilano Numero Dos of Dominican Republic

Re: My Minitry in Batey in Dominican Republic
From: Calville Dunnon

Blessings of our Lord for another day to consider what He wants us to do. Pastor Francis Alcegaire provided us with some very good pictures of the Batey where we spent a short time but we continue to partner with him to give whatever assistance he can to these poor children and people. As you can see many here are children. Brother Garson also help, they travel together from Santo Domingo every week to give assistance and share Christ. Bro Garson is standing by the lunch sandwiches and drink.

We need some help with the school we are proposing to start for the small children, and adult where possible. The shed is where the whole community meet to do anything. A retired lady from another walk to this area to conduct classes. Children sit bored most of the time, so when they are old enough they have children, not able to write read, they suffer from the same problem their grand and great grand suffered from. These children are not given the rights of citizenship, although they were born in the DR, they are considered illegal alien, recently, many were shipped back to Haiti where they know no one. We would also like to address this issue with the government.

We are planning to have a mission trip Early April, Join us in prayer for God's direction and blessings for resources. I have quite a bit of toys and children clothes but need monies to ship them. Blessings, pastor cal
