Grand Opening!

On August 15th, Dove held the grand opening for the Club! A team of 6 from Canada is in the DR and Haiti for a few weeks, and came to help Liz for the day and run a fun grand opening for about 70 kids who are benefiting from Dove's services. They ran classes and made Playdough with the kids. The mothers all came as well and created a sign up sheet for who will come on what days to help clean and work in the Club. We are having them do this so they can learn that the Club is not about giving hand outs. We want them to work for the services they are being provided with, and because of this, they will make it their own and be proud of what they have because they have worked for it.
