Andrés Vélez recognized the urgency to raise additional funds to improve the school infrastructure, educational program, psychological evaluation and follow up program, parent education, updated training and education for therapists, sanitary infrastructure and other areas for the children in La Romana and their families. It is important to support causes such as this one since we all play a role in cultivating an environment and culture of tolerance and respect for diversity. El Ser Libre y Feliz believes every person in the world should feel loved and accepted no matter what. When we all come together for a good cause, we can really make a difference!
