79] – There is a project to assist young refugees from Haiti, now residing in the Dominican Republic. The founder of the project needs funding to providing education to the youth as a way out of desperate poverty. Try to imagine the poverty in Haiti, and then realize that these young refugees are considered low caste in the Dominican Republic. We are talking about the poorest of the poor. Consider making a small donation, and realize that most pledges to Haiti to assist hurricane victims have not been sent. To maintain a web site presence at Global Giving, there must be traffic.
