Many of the kids in the Club are from Playa Oeste, a very poor area of Puerto Plata that means West Beach in english. We also have kids from Barrio Nuevo and Aguas Negras. This video shows what life is like in Playa Oeste. Kids in the video = Andy, Andrieli, and Coco (and a mother, Sonia). Andy was out in the water looking for crabs. He is 13 years old and because his father died, he takes on the role of 'man of the house' and does his best to provide for his family. Not only can you see the filth of the beach that they live on, but you can also see the work that goes into providing for a family in the DR.
