Donors and Volunteers

Much of Project Child's mission is accomplished by our donors and volunteers. Donors provide funding and needed items. Volunteers do office work and fundraising projects in the US and may go to Casa de Luz on a team organized by their school, church, or other organizational group. Project Child is volunteer-powered!

				Project Child responds to the Haiti Earthquake Relief January 28: Thank you for your prayers during our fact-finding trip to DR and Haiti. As we prepare for our return to Florida on Friday, we have already taken the necessary steps required by the Dominican government to be one of their approved orphanages to receive children from Haiti and give them a permanent home in Casa de Luz. From the Haiti side, we are waiting to hear from UNICEF about which steps to take. New information will be posted as it develops. January 24: Co-Founder Lourdes Valladares, Board members John Colbert, Paul Colbert and a volunteer from Miami, Summer Berge depart for Santo Domingo today where they will meet with a medical team on Tuesday going to Haiti and bring back to Casa de Luz Children's Home (Santo Domingo) orphaned children that are handicapped. Please make a donation today to help us hire additional caregivers for the children and give many children a safe, loving home. MORE INFORMATION TO FOLLOW!
				Mission Project Child exists to provide physical, medical and spiritual care to the orphaned and disabled children of the Dominican Republic. Vision Project Child will continue to reach out with loving care to the "forgotten" and disabled Dominican children until such time as all children of the Dominican Republic, disabled, or not, live in safe, loving homes without fear of abuse or neglect.
