School Starts

School starts in the Dominican Republic at the end of August. Children attend school either in the morning or the afternoon- not for full days, like we do in Canada and the United States. Meriledi was provided with uniforms (2 shirts, bottoms, undershirts and underpants, and socks), shoes, gym clothes, notebooks and pencils. I knew I wanted to donate money for one of the kids to have a uniform. I chose Meriledi because she is so sweet and at 10 years old, she still hasn't passed grade 1. I hope that this year she will be off to a fresh start and be able to attend regularly and pass into 2nd.
