The DREAM Project launches #DREAMenCasa, offering more than 2,000 families food and educational resources during national quarantine
The DREAM Project has served as a critical community leader since they were founded, in the year 2002. Through natural disasters, economic hardships and countless moments of need, DREAM has been there for their 27 partner communities.
COVID-19 has had an unprecedented impact on these same families and communities, leaving millions of children and youth quarantined at home, in need of both food and educational resources. Food is a critical resource to maintain safe and healthy families, but so are books, online learning resources and materials to stimulate these young minds. DREAM is proud to provide all of these resources, while they remain safely at home, through #DREAMenCasa.
DREAM Founder and Chairman, Michel Zaleski, established DREAM with an understanding that a lack of quality education was responsible for much of the poverty across the country. Now, together with the Executive Board, filled with both Dominican, Dominican American and International volunteers, #DREAMenCasa has been launched with a $20,000 gift, delivering food and materials to more than 350 families last week, with the goal of reaching more than 2,000 by May 1st.
Each #DREAMPaq includes rice, cooking oil, beans, pasta, oatmeal, canned food, and an educational pack for kids with books, crayons, weekly learning plans, pencils and information on how to engage online
#DREAMenCasa is a strategy created to help parents educate their kids at home, an online parent resource with books and activities you can download at any time, any day, anywhere:
