Child Sponsorship
Public education in the Dominican Republic is in crisis. Each week the national newspapers report on overcrowded classrooms, teachers without pay, students who attend without textbooks or materials, and failing academic performance. Many students drop out before the fifth grade and less than half of all high school student stay in school long enough to receive a diploma. Dominican Advance's program for quality Christian education seeks to lift people to a fuller, richer, more productive life. We build quality schools, staff them with state certified Christian teachers, and minister the gospel to parent and child alike. Unlike other organizations that offer "salas de tarea" (study halls) or "escuelitas" (little schools) where students receive unaccredited education, your sponsorship provides fully accredited education to some of the Dominican Republic's most needy children.* If you believe in the God-given potential of each child regardless of their socio-economic level, you can help change the future for a needy Dominican family. Dominican Advance is now taking scholarships for the 2009-10 school year. Through Scholarships for Champions you can become a sponsor and begin to build a brighter future for needy Dominican children. For more information on Scholarships for Champions, email us at info@dominicanadvance.org and visit the Scholarships for Champions page. To become a sponsor, click here. *Colegio Evangelico Dra. Phyllis Callahan (Dr. Phyllis Callahan Christian School) admits students of any race, national or ethnic origins to all the rights and privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, national or ethnic origins in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship or loan programs, and athletic and other school-adminstrated programs.
