Mission Objectives

We have established these objectives for the May 2009 Mission:

1. Teaching English - High School and University students can gain much by learning the English language. Not only does it open up employment opportunities, it also opens up opportunities to advance their education and cultivate friendships outside of the Dominican Republic. Many foreign copies that have facilities and offices in the Dominican Republic use English as their standard language for communication, consequently Dominicans that have the ability to communicate in English will have advanced jog opportunities. English ahs also because the standard for instruction and education; the ability to use English will enable young people to continue their education and gain additional skills that will enhance their lives.

2. Dental Hygiene - Dental Clinic - working with the Health Committee to promote dental care.

3. Adult Education- working with the Education Committee to promote adult  learning in areas of communication and computer technology.

Oración de Paz - de San Francisco

O Dios, haz de me instrumento de tu paz

Donde haya odio, siembre yo amor;

Donde haya injuria, perdón

Donde hay duda, fe;

Donde hay desaliento, esperanza

Donde haya sombra, luz;

Donde haya tristeza, alegría

Divino maestro, concédeme que no busque

Ser consolado sino consolar;

Ser comprendido sino comprender

Ser amado sino amar;

Porque dando es que recibimos;

Perdonando es que tu nos perdonas

Y muriendo en ti es como nacemos a vida eterna.

Amen
