Center of Development of Skills Graduation

Friday, May 15th the First Lady of the Dominican Republic, Doctor Margarita Cedeno de Fernandez, was here in Don Juan for the graduation of more than 400 students from our Center of Development of Skills. The sisters here, with the support of our foundation, bought the property where the center is located, and the nuns direct programming at the center. The building itself was designed, constructed and equipped by the government.Programming at the center includes classes on computer use, cooking, sewing and beautician skills.
The center is one more example of where your contributions to the Portal de Belen Foundation are at work helping the poor better their livelihood.
Doctor Margarita is the first, First Lady of a republic to whom I have ever been able to give a welcoming kiss (may there be more).
She is a very warm, gracious Lady indeed.

My life is never dull here.
