In a world where we are all so caught up with work and responsibilities, let’s take a step out of this and offer a helping hand. I know we all have a shirt in our closet or pair of pants we haven’t worn in over a year. Instead of throwing these ‘old’ items away save it and donate it to someone in need, it can really go a long way. With that being said, tune into my podcast as I discuss looking into CENIFE, a non-profit organization that sponsors children every year towards medical expenses, school supplies, toiletries, and workshops. Many of these children and their families do not have the means to buy new shoes or even eat more than once a day. Although CENIFE isn’t as popular as many other non-profit organizations, passing around the word can make a difference in each of these kids’ lives. This organization is dear to me as I was given the opportunity to personally visit the location in the Dominican Republic. CENIFE has its own center in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic where sponsored children go after school to attend workshops, receive donations, as well as eat. Seeing how happy the children were just seeing us there, playing with balloons, and saying a prayer before their meal reminded me of how grateful I should be for what I have. Many of us have it all and still manage to complain, when in fact there are people who do not have as many resources but still maintain happiness. CENIFE means a lot to me and for this reason, I would like to shed light on the importance of giving to give. Stay tuned for my official podcast where I will be discussing my experiences and the organization in detail.
