"Orphanage Outreach takes the time to teach others about the culture and the community. The leaders placed to be responsible for the welfare of the volunteers are well trained and prepared for our needs and questions. The staff helps a volunteer to feel safe and secure in a very unfamiliar environment making the volunteer efforts more manageable."
Our Mission
The mission of Orphanage Outreach is to provide opportunities to orphaned, abandoned, and disadvantaged children. Certainly the children who live at the orphanage are a focus of ours, but all the children in many Dominican communities are disadvantaged in some way. The economics of many towns are very poor, the children only go to school for half a day, and there are minimal extracurricular activities for the children to participate in.
Book The Future
Book The Future is an exciting initiative sponsored by Orphanage Outreach. There are two main goals of the Book The Future program. One, to provide opportunities to disadvantaged children through literacy by ensuring that each child has their own book as well as establishing community libraries. Secondly, Book The Future is striving to do so by involving others in making the difference.
Parents, teachers, children of all ages have the opportunity to get involved with this program; the best part is it doesn't take much to make a big difference. Being involved with Book The Future can be as easy as buying an extra Spanish book in your next scholastic order!
We are currently working in the Dominican Republic, therefore there is a high need for childrens books in Spanish. If you are interested or have a compilation of English books, please contact us prior to sending.
