This Friday the 24th of January, the Altos de Chavón Regional Museum of Archeology invites you for tea and biscuits at the Hogar del Niño store in Altos de Chavón!
Tea and biscuits you say?! What is all that about? Well it’s rather simple really – in an effort to motivate a few people to come visit the new Hogar del Niño store in Altos de Chavón, the Altos de Chavón Regional Museum of Archeology cordially invites you to join them for a little shopping for a good cause.
The Hogar del Niño store “Hogar” opened in Altos de Chavón at the side of the St. Stanislaus church in December, and is selling all kinds of goodies from beautiful lamps, paintings and other home accessories such as plates and decorations and even furniture. All the profits made by the new store are 100% destined to the Hogar del Niño education and daycare centre in La Romana.
So come join us tomorrow from 4:30pm – and shop ’till you drop! The ChocoMuseo, also a recent new addition to Altos de Chavón will be serving a special coco tea, while local Casa de Campo villa owner, Phyllis Berney will be bringing along some biscuits (cookies) for us all to share.
The Hogar del Niño is a children’s daycare and educational center for over 1500 children, located in La Romana town, just outside of Casa de Campo. Children from as young as just a few weeks old up to 18 years old are cared for and educated daily, from as early as 5:30am and staying as late as 7pm.
The organization also provides special schooling to over 75 hearing impaired and blind children, as well as a vocational school where over 235 students receive classes in different areas like: sewing; industrial preparation, installation and electrical maintenance; plumbing and management of computer office programs.
