Giving Back in The Dominican Republic


My family just returned from 10 days in the Dominican Republic, working with a medical team in schools and in barrio neighborhoods delivering medical aid to people  to lack adequate medical care.  It was an eye opening experience for my family, and I came back with many takeaways!
 One of the biggest is that, with a little effort and money on our part, we can transform the lives of people who have few opportunities to dig themselves out of poverty and hopelessness.  Literally for the price of a dinner date for two per month, you can give a child an education, meals, and medical care!  This is definitely true in The Dominican Republic.
  We are choosing to give back by sponsoring a child's education, but also by partnering with my clients in real estate to see more kids sponsored.  In the videos below you will see how you can partner with me to change the  lives of kids in The Dominican Republic.  I am pledging that any client that I have that wants to partner with me to sponsor a child, I will pay for the first year of the program, if my clients will continue to sponsor these kids after that first year.  For more info go to www.solidrockinternational.org, or see the videos below.
