Question Help needed in sending well needed supplies to new friends in Cabrete.

My husband and I met 5 shoe shine boys when we visited Cabarete 3/1/03. We brought them to Casa Nelson in PP and bought them their first pair of sneakers, some shorts, T shirts and socks.

The next day we were invited to thier Casa and met their families. They live on a road on the left heading to pp, just past the center of Cabarete. They were friendly and offered us coconuts and cafe. The families and school could use supplies that we would like to send. Penciles, pads, chalk, shoes clothes and are wondering the best way to send them.

In Cabarete we met the woman who ownes Dick's backery and she was very helpful, because we do not speak Spanish it was difficult to get exact instuctions.
I know if we can get a package to her she will see the boys and the school get the supplies.

We went to the Fed-EX and Western Union business in Cabarete and my husband was still confused about the instructions.

The only address I have to send things is Dick German Bakery, Cabarete Center. I have no zip code. Will this work?

Thank you for any help you can provide. _Debra

There are no zip codes in the DR. If the bakery is located on the main street of Cabarete and if you are sure of the name, the package should be delivered.

Default You are all so kind!

I will be making a trip earlier than planned and will by extra suit cases to make the delivery.

I hope someday the rules change and we will be able to ship supplies free of theft.

Debra, if Jazzcom can carry it for you I can also deliver it in Cabarete if anyone needs this.
