New Families in El Barrio! (The Neighborhood!)

 

Chaba's Seafood Restaurant thrives thanks to Dominican city tourists who are called to our gorgeous coast line, scenic views, and of course, delicious locally sourced seafood!  Well, it looks like our little sea-side town and Chaba's might be placed on the international map.  Rumor has it we have a new resident in town; Pedro Gonzalez, Writer, Photographer, Film Maker, and Author.  How lucky are we!  

Pedro and his wife Sara and daughter Sarita recently moved here from the United States!  If you see them walking around town, make sure you say hello and give them a warm welcome!  Oh! Be sure to follow Pedro on Twitter!

So, every week, we round them up on a Friday evening for a feast!  Mama Chaba loves children, and has always taken every opportunity to feed and clothe the...

More Orphans Adopted!

Through their stays they've experienced our community and most importantly our children, our orphans.  We're so excited to announce several more adoptions have taken place, sometimes taking 2-3 children at a time!  CORANI, (Consejo Regional Para La Ninez y Adolecenscia) the Regional Council for Children & Adolescents, has set up an office in our town to spearhead the safe, sound, and affordable adoption of our remaining orphans! The blessings keep coming! Jose & Patrica Merinda adopted Jocelyn, and Frank & Steven Boyer adopted twin...
