The children of the Fundación MIR schools in La Romana recently received a wonderful gift of beautiful clothes donated by Dominican designer Julissa Peralta.
The Fundación MIR, a non-profit organisation, which works to provide education to the children of the greater La Romana area, who are most in need – were thrilled to receive this donation from designer Julissa Peralta who owns and runs a children’s clothing store in Santo Domingo. The clothes, mostly beautiful frilly and flowered dresses were greeted with great enthusiasm by the little girls of the Primaria MIR (infants school) – and don’t they look adorable!
“I feel very happy to see the photos of the girls wearing the clothes and know that I was able to do my part. Congratulations to the Fundación MIR for their excellent work.”
— Julissa Peralta
