Our Vision
We are like sunflowers: we must turn to the ways of life that sustain the body, the family, the community, and the world.
Somos Girasoles is a community development project focused on promoting health, nutrition, and environmental sustainability. For the last three years we've teamed up with Transitando, an organization that seeks to inspire youth and communities through the fine arts, and El Bien, a community activism and youth empowerment organization, to put on summer camps in communities in and around Cabrera, Dominican Republic.
The town of Cabrera is very fortunate to have several opportunities for educational enrichment that are available to local youth. However, many of the rural communities around Cabrera do not have access to these opportunities due to a general lack of resources and transportation. Somos Girasoles seeks to fill this need by hosting week-long summer camps in several communities. Somos Girasoles began in the rural areas of the municipality and we feel it is important to go back to our roots.
