Today we visited the Marisposas Foundation which is 3 Marisposas Montessori partner foundation. The Marisposas Foundation focuses on girls from ages 8-18. The mission of the Marisposas Foundation is to give young girls in the Dominican a way out of the ghetto's that house them and force them to become young mothers and prostitutes. The school focuses on teaching girls to love themselves and explore better obstacles.
Hearing about this program and visiting the facility really touched my heart. The program is completely free for the girls and they can attend the evening session or the day session. The program focuses on flexibility ecause the harsh reality of the Dominican forces young girls to stay home and support their younger sibling while the mother is at work; Due to this, the program allows some girls to bring thier younger sibling with them.
the facility we visited was faily new so a lot of construction was taking place, but the ideas they have to improve these girls lives ang give them an escape is amazing. I am extrememly motivated to make a difference in the world after seeing how beautiful the outcome is.
