Date Posted: 09/22/2025
Building these classrooms has been a challenge for us, starting from scratch without any material resources, but with faith and a desire to work, today we are closer to our goal. God has been good to us; being part of the Compassion Causes platform and having your support is more than a blessing. Below, I present the progress we have made regarding the children's classroom project before using the cause funds. Thanks to local management, labor from church leaders and parents of participants, as well as gifts we have received from the church that have been used for this beautiful cause. We also have the necessary equipment for the roof. We are happy because with this funding, we will be able to finish it, and our beloved children will have a larger, more comfortable, and safer space to learn and have fun. God has answered our prayers. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
About the Cause
Posted by Centro de Desarrollo Integral Maranatha Alfa in Dominican Republic on 11/04/2024
We are building larger classrooms to be able to receive our children and adolescents throughout the week and at different times because there are a fairly large and considerable number of children and adolescents, approximately 720 children, and even though we divide them by section, the space we have is very limited to develop the activities. Thanks to God and the management of the church, we have been able to carry out the construction at roof level, but we still have a lot to do and our children are growing every day and we have groups that need large chairs, which requires more space. This cause aims to significantly improve the conditions in which the children receive classes. Currently there are 3 classrooms built but they are small and are divided with very fragile materials, a situation that causes us problems with the noise from one classroom to another. We want to offer the children a healthy and pleasant environment, with classrooms where they can learn in a comfortable and pleasant way, with better ventilation and lighting. Therefore, we want to obtain external resources to finish the roof, install doors and windows, plaster, paint, floor and ventilation. In this way, our children will be able to receive their classes in a healthy, clean, safe and comfortable environment, so that they have the motivation to return and continue learning.

How the church will sustain the Cause
We have the good fortune to make available almost all of the congregation's financial resources (tithes, offerings, donations) to maintain and sustain this project. We are a united team that works, if possible even at night, for the well-being of each child who so joyfully comes to our center, each parent, each friend. We will continue to carry out extra activities to generate funds and to be able to maintain the adequate space for the integral development of children and adolescents. The construction of the classrooms will enhance the work we have been doing. With God's favor, we will climb step by step.
Introduce Christian and biblical principles in childhood and work in favor of youth who are linked to drugs, alcoholism, prostitution, among others, in order to form young people who are loyal to this society and free from all vices.
