In light of health and safety concerns, Drew University has cancelled all off campus programs for summer 2020. So with great sadness, DHP is unable to travel to the DR this summer. We will be making a donation to the home from the money we have fundraised along with our usual donations to the homes we support in Honduras. And are planning a trip in the future. Thank you to everyone who has supported our work. Updates to follow.
Meanwhile, we received this message (translated) from the director of the home:
Good afternoon
We hope you and your families are well. We send you many blessings that our Lord will cover you with his mantle and protect you all and your families. Our girls are well as of right now.
We know that because of the situation we’re all going through, you won’t be able to come, the girls send kisses and hugs to everyone. We decided to leave them all here and not send them home to their families to protect them from any contagion as they will be safer here.
Take care and the sisters send many blessings and we will always pray for you.
