Dominican Republic

“I have prayed for an opportunity like this, and thanks to God, and Alfalit Dominican Republic, now it is possible. I am applying everything my teachers are teaching me and my desire to improve myself motivates me to study hard. ”Alfalit’s literacy program has helped Yinanllely in many aspects of her life. Her family has a small business selling ice cream and since she didn’t know basic mathematics, customers took advantage of her and deceived her when exchanging money. Many times, there wasn’t any profits from her sales to cover the family’s expenses. Now, she can write down the calculations and she knows precisely what amount of money is due back to her customers when they buy ice cream. No one can ever deceive her again. She says, as a result, she is more and more motivated to continue her education. Yinanllely’s dream is to attend the university. She believes that God has a very special plan for her life so she can give back to others for all that God has done for her.”
