The Hogar del Niño daycare and education facility in La Romana, who just last week announced that Mr WorldWide – Pitbull will be hosting a concert in their favor, have just announced their next Café de la Leche gathering which will take place next Friday the 9th of August and will be hosted by Yrene Caslini.
The gathering, which unites the Casa de Campo community; residents and villa owners, as well as occasional Casa de Campo resort guests, is a charitable occasion which gathers funds and milk supplies for the “Crib Room” at the Hogar del Niño. The “crib room” is probably the most popular place in the Hogar del Niño and is where more than 200 babies are cared for everyday. It is the milk donations gathered at the monthly Café de la Leche events that account for more than 40% of the milk drank by these little ones.
Yrene Caslini, whose husband Mauro is the owner of IB Nautica in the Marina Casa de Campo, is a regular Café de la Leche hostess, always treating her guests to the very best hospitality – delicious snacks and drinks. The last Café de la Leche hosted by Yrene took place during the 2012 Dueños event, during which we also celebrated the birthday of Xiomara Menendez, founder of the Hogar del Niño charity (click here for photos). Meanwhile in October 2011, Yrene hosted a gathering at the Azimut Café in the Marina Casa de Campo (click here for photos), and at her villa in September 2010 (click here for photos).

In the midst of the Dueños 2012 celebration, the Café de la Leche hosted by Yrene acted as a continuation of the festivities and a nice break for the girlies to get together for that gossip we so enjoy once a month!
On Friday the 7th of October 2011 the ladies of Casa de Campo enjoyed this month’s edition of the “Cafe de la Leche” charitable gathering at the Azimut Café in the Marina Casa de Campo.
The Cafe de la Leche is a monthly charitable event, a little like a coffee or a tea party held for the ladies of Casa de Campo (although men are occasionally invited) and usually takes place on the first Friday of the month, hosted by a member of the Casa de Campo villa at her Casa de Campo villa or occasionally restaurant/business.
