Colegio Project Esperanza in Muñoz

Colegio Project Esperanza welcomes children from the surrounding bateys from preschool to 5th grade. The school is located next to our Fair Trade Art Shop & Cafe. The sounds of children singing (as they do every Friday), reciting the alphabet, or laughing and playing during recess can almost always be heard during school hours (Monday-Friday 8 am - 1 pm).

The school was created for the many students in the area that previously did not have any access to public education, mainly due to migration issues. Our local, qualified teachers take on the big and important tasks of teaching discipline and respect, among the usual educational needs of learning reading, writing, and mathematics. Our students are taught in Creole and Spanish in order to nurture their native language while encouraging them to assimilate into Dominican culture by conquering the local language.
