Children of the Nations. Raising children who transform nations.
These children live in some of the most impoverished areas of the world. In the Dominican Republic specifically, many of their villages did not have schools before COTN came. Most families could not afford to send their children even if schools did exist. Through our sponsorship program they are given this opportunity. However, we would like to give them the next steps after grade school. My part of COTN's big picture revolves around education and hospitality. We are beginning our Hospitality Program in the Dominican Republic, where the industry thrives. My job is to mobilize people and resources to teach the older teens and young adults about hospitality and management.
Our program will work to give them the necessary education and training to obtain jobs in this popular industry. We will do this through the time and efforts of people like you! Teams of hospitality professionals, students or anyone with the know how will travel down to be a part. We will teach, encourage, do on-the-job training, shadowing and so much more.
Secondly, our mission house will function as a sustainable hotel; providing income for the mission and job opportunities for our students.
The villages are filled with destitute children, and broken struggling families. Even though their situations are so desperate, they have remarkable hearts to love and serve others and a great contagious hope. My dream is that by teaching them the art of Hospitality, they will be able to provide for themselves and their families.
KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE
