In 2007 ISV’s groups were involved in various construction projects in 7 different villages. In addition to improving village infrastructure, ISV implemented its own fully structured Children’s Program this year within the host organization projects. Approximately 500+ children benefited from the ISV Children’s Program. The vast majority of student testimonies reflect a life changing and heart- warming experience that proved culturally educational and fun while at the same time making a contribution to social community development and helping the poorest of the poor in the Dominican Republic.
Tasks accomplished at each project by ISV groups in the DR this year are:
