The DREAM Project is pleased to announce that it has been selected as one of the six distinguished winners of the UNESCO International Literacy Prizes for its important work in promoting a culture of reading in the Dominican Republic.

DREAM's successful implementation of literacy promotion practices have been recognized by the United States Library of Congress, being acknowledged as a Successful Practices Honoree. The recognition was specifically given for DREAM's work on Mi Mundo, a free community magazine published by DREAM students. Aspiring young journalists gain hands-on experience creating content relevant to children, youth, and families in their community, written and organized into a dynamic, family-friendly publication that puts Dominican culture at the forefront. Students report on local stories embedded in Dominican life, such as community members, sports, food and music.

Thanks to a strategic partnership between the LA Dodgers and the DREAM Project, another successful summer camp centered around fun and learning just wrapped up at the Futuro Vivo School in Santo Domingo. The camp, focused on interactive science and art, hosted 85 students from the academy’s surrounding community.

In the sixth edition of Mi Mundo magazine, students touch on these subjects: recycling, community talent, fun myths and beliefs, much more!
