Testimonials

Fernanda GarciaWhat I like the most about the DREAM Project is how they teach us to study and how they show those in Cabarete their commitment to the best for everyone. I think the DREAM Project is the best thing that has come to Cabarete and it’s the best for children, youth and adults.

Robert GomezI like the Young Stars Program because I learned a lot and my teachers are very good: Massiel, Julie, Rachel, Mauri, Katalina, Taylor, Lindsey. And I like the Young Men’s Group because it taught me the good and bad and it explained my life to me. I enjoyed the Apprenticeship Program because it taught me many things about work. And all thanks to the DREAM PROJECT.

Marleni LopezI have participated in DREAM for a long time. I want to say something about a person whom I met in DREAM. Her name is Laura and I met her in 2008. When I met her, I could not read. She worked a lot with me to help improve my reading. Sometimes studying made me angry and I would say I didn’t want to study anymore. But Laura would not let me. Laura told me to never think negative – only positive. She gave me a notebook to help me practice writing letters. Now, I know how to read because Laura helped me. Sometimes I cry because she is not here. But I’m glad because she taught me to read and always think positive.
