Dear Supporters!
It’s a joy and honor to wish you and your families a Happy and Prosperous New Year 2023!
The Bienvenido project ( FUNFONAVI) is thankful and grateful for your support and contribution in 2022 and prior years.
Your generosity towards the expansion of our vision “to provide holistic care for impoverished Dominican and Haitian youth in the areas of food, education, health care, advocating for the child's rights & safety”; has helped make the Bienvenido community a safer place to live.
As we bring love and dignity to the children, each and everyone of your donation(s) has provided a life beyond poverty to our youth and their families.
Thank you all for your partnership in creating a world that works for everyone, where no one is left behind! We are looking forward to your continued support in 2023! We could not do it without your help!
In 2022, your philanthropist hearts made a profound difference in the area of education;
The lives of 70 children had full pay tuition. We want to acknowledge and recognize the special collaboration of Berenice Albright and her team for holding the 3rd annual fund raising virtual event to support the Bienvenido Project education program. Thank YOU!
Our feeding program served 47,101 meals, which relieved the pain and hunger of about 150 children on a daily basis, which prevented malnutrition and exposure to abuse and child labor.
Your contribution created family bonds! 45 families benefited from the annual Christmas Dinner and about 500 children celebrated with each other “la Noche Buena at the Bienvenido project for the first one held after Covid 19 pandemic... hearing children laughing, singing, dancing, connecting and sharing with each other is a joy of a lifetime.
The Faculty of Psychology of the Pedro Henríquez Ureña University (UNPHU) for offering the 2nd workshop for our adolescents in the areas of self esteem, resilience, identity, solidarity, love and respect for themselves and their families.
Our community outreach in 2022 supported and empowered mothers and adolescents with their participation in various workshops to bring social and spiritual values, cooking and fashion jewelry to support their personal growth.
Last but not least, we want to say a special thanks to Lake City Christian Reformed Church, Fundacion Vida para Bienvenido and Calvary Evangelical Free Church for your support !
