The Kids of Macao say GRACIAS!!!

[Sunscape Mike]

Good afternoon everyone! This morning I had the honour of being joined by some of our guests , as well as my fellow employee James Berryman as we set out in a taxi van with a load of school supplies to assist 2 local rural schools. Both schools are relatively new...well kept and tidy...but lacking in what children need for a good education....supplies!
We are commited to assisting the local and distant schools and communities in this country and we can only do it through your generousity! I would like to personnaly thank Marilyn Berkinski...who accumulated over a 1000 individual items to be distributed in aid of children´s ongoing education!

Cheers to all of you who have contributed to this project!

great job Mike,
that's the way i know you and that's the way to really help the kiddies.
no talking, just doing.
congrats.
like you know i am closing my negociations with the new business stuff, it includes Vans for the transportation of my clients, the next time you transport supplies to a school just drop me a call, you don't need a cab, i provide that.
the same if you have to pick up stuff at the resorts here in my area which i know are sometimes a bit far from your home resort.
keep it up
Mike

Sounds great Mike...will do!

One thing that niether school we went to had...was chalk for the boards. I never thought of that and tomorrow I am venturing into Higuey to pick some up for them. Also...things non educational such a a few mops and cleaners...as the kids tend to track alot of yard dirt in with them!

What was encouraging to me, was to see as many children attending...the room was full...quite a contrast to a few years ago!

Count me in too if ever you need help in the Punta Cana area. My car isn't big but it can handle a couple of boxes... In Punta Cana what we do every year is the company sends out a list of the low-income families that need help and anyone who wants can donate money to help buy a certain kid's books. I can personally say that it feels great to be able to do that kind of thing and all it takes is 2 minutes to fill out an authorization form (and a bit of scrimping on expenses for a month...)

Kate,
great. where are you living/working here in the area?
Mike: i'm up in the bavaro area by noon tomorrow and will stay for the afternoon to do some stuff at different spots around the corner area.
drop me a call when you're close, we don't have to drop all details on the board, but we have to keep it up, there are many people on the DR bord interested in what you are doing there, and lots want to give a hand.
