More About Liz, Founder & CEO

Liz Rooney Sunel is the woman who started it all. Her journey began years ago while vacationing in the Dominican Republic and traveling the city of Puerto Plata. Liz instantly felt connected to the community in need and wanted to do more. So, at that point, she decided to move the life she built from Minnesota, USA to Puerto Plata, DR. And gosh, what a great move that was...


From then until now, the progress she has made is incredible. There are over 50-100 kids and families that Liz helps and serves on a daily basis in the surrounding neighborhoods in Puerto Plata. She has developed relationships with almost everyone in the city, and most would consider her a part of their family. Liz has a gift to touch lives, to heal souls, and to help and guide families in the right direction. The Club is such a success that there are wait lists for some children and families to become members, and there are more and more staff that are being hired to help because of the increase of people signing up every day. And there is even talk of building a newer, bigger club so that more can join. Liz also travels to Haiti once in a while to help with the poorer families by bringing clothing, food, and love.

Did you know that last year, Liz was featured as one of the Top Philanthropists recognized by The United States? Read an interview of hers here: http://littlepinkbook.com/pink-profiles/liz-sunel.
