Every year, from September through November, Fundación Tropicalia works with Junior Achievement Dominicana (JADOM) to bring financial literacy courses to high school students in Miches. In December, Fundación Tropicalia and JADOM graduated 200 students from the program from the high schools, La Gina and Padre Daniel. This program also supported the financial education component of the IDB / MIF project. During graduation, JADOM President of the Board, Salvador Demaillestre, and Executive Director César Asiático, joined us in Miches as keynote speakers, spreading inspiration and encouragement to our grads. In Addition to JADOM, 75 students from the La Mina elementary school also participated in Fundación Tropicalia’s arts & crafts program.

Gallagher: Teaching girls their value
I’m a big fan of giving back and making a difference, especially when it is for children in need. I also believe that making a difference has no boundaries. So sit back and let me take you on a trip to the Dominican Republic. That’s right — the D.R., a place where many residents of our valley head to hit the beach, windsurf, kite surf and let the good times roll.
