Last Friday, the Catholic boys school was hosting a televised event to raise money for a boy in our community that needs a double hip replacement. Our principal, Cody, found out that they were not having much success, so he popped into my office to see if Doulos could help out. He took five students over to the school and each student appeared on television encouraging the community to pitch in. Within two hours, our students had raised over RD$20,000 (US$600+)! (The average monthly income is US$300/month).
Parents from Doulos contributed generously and our students were overwhelmed with the community’s cooperation. We are excited that our students are growing not only in compassion, but also in their level of responsibility to take care of those in need. They are learning what it means to truly serve others.
