Pracar and Service in the Dominican Republic and Haiti

Brother Caetanya (SDM BP in Boston) and his wife, Iishita, have collected funds, clothes, computers, books, and other goods and shipped them to Haiti and the Dominican Republic in the last years. In November 2021, after long Pandemic Restrictions, they visited the Dominican Republic and Haiti and conducted pracar, visited a school they have been supporting and farmers cooperative that Iishita’s father has taken the lead to start.

EDUCATION SUPPORT 

For the last 11 years and in collaboration with the Dama Salesianas of Jarabacoa R. D, we have helped build this school and even created a space for meditation (Sadhana) and prayers. Please see the pictures below of the school and Sadhana room. 

LIBRARY FOR LANGUAGES 

This library has been a long dream and project of the Dama Salesianas, Ishita, and Caetanya, which has flourished with a collection of children’s books and encyclopedias in several languages. Including our continued support for La Poesia Montana movement.

Relief goods such as food, medicine, and clothing were shipped to Haiti to our supports working in the City of Cap-Haïtian and nearby towns. Several organized food and clothing distribution were performed in the visited town of Dominican Republic and additional scheduled food, medicine, and clothes distribution in December. Our supporters for both Haïtians and Dominicans needed the support.
