I've been working with the Doulos School since it's inception. Innovation is the key to their approach.
There is no school doing more to revolutionize how the poor are educated. If this grand educational experiment is even remotely successful, deep systemic change within the fabric of Dominican culture is assured! Stay tuned to see how a small Christian school in the rural town of Jarabacoa will spark a Revolution.
My husband and I have been supporters of Doulos Discovery Ministries since the beginning. We have supported students as well as staff/teachers and hosted many work teams over the past ten years. We also have been privileged to be a part of the support for the new elementary building. During these past ten years, we have seen students achieve success far beyond their wildest dreams. We have seen teachers catch the spirit of the joy of teaching. We have heard laughter and the sounds of those first "ah ha" moments when a new idea has dawned on them. Their curriculum of experiential learning embeds in them the lessons presented as they not only READ about learning, but they TOUCH, HEAR, TASTE and SMELL those lessons. Sensory learning is the best way to remember lessons presented. We have also had the joy of seeing many of these students advance and succeed in colleges. My husband and I feel we have been given a wonderful gift to have been part of this program and feel that our investment will affect the lives of many for eternity
