Our beloved President, Bill Haney, was recently in the news for his many accomplishments… but mostly for his effort to make the world a better place. When asked which of his ventures of which he is most proud he replied:

“When someone walks up to you with a healthy baby and tells you that the baby would not be alive without the hospital you helped equip —it doesn’t get much better than that.� (for the entire article please click here)

Alejandra tenia a su hijo muy enfermo de salud, casi al borde de la muerte. Una amiga le dijo que fuera donde la Dra. Elisa Tejeda quien trabaja en la comunidad de La SAONA para Infante Sano.
Al ver el niño en el estado que estaba actuó rápidamente y le dio los cuidados necesarios para que el niño este en buenas condiciones, como lo esta ahora.

Alejandra sigue viviendo en La Saona, Baní, Republica Dominicana con su hijo Yasmil, su niña y su esposo.

Last month, a group of kids from Groton School in Massachusetts turned thousands of yards of donated fleece into baby blankets to give to new and expecting mothers in the Dominican Republic. We delivered the blankets last week and the mothers were thrilled! One mother told us she felt very special that kids in the United States cared enough to make something for her baby. Thank you, again, to all the great folks at Groton for executing such a valuable project!  Thanks to Tara and Patagonia for the great fleece!

We just launched our new site!  We will be keeping you updated about what is going on in the field through this blog.  Please feel free to add a comment or send us questions!

Take care,
