Project Description

For my project, I am collecting educational recreational items for the children of a remote mountain village in the Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic. I am aiming to collect at least 10 new mountain bikes particularly, smaller bikes for younger children ages 2-5, 30 sturdy chess sets, 50 hula hoops, 2 foldable ping pong tables, 2 volleyball nets, 8 volleyballs, 10 soccer balls with a soccer net, and a tether ball pole. The objective of this project is to provide the children in the Dominican Republic a source of activities implementing physical education through means of equipment to encourage the children to find fun in learning and introducing them to team sports. It’s my objective to raise money and purchase the educational and recreational items for the children in the Dominican Republic in order to provide them with the opportunity to have the same equipment and things that we have here in the United States that is most of the time taken for granted.
