In the Dominican Republic, 18-year-old Bedarlin’s biggest dream is to graduate from college and buy a house for her mother. With support from Compassion’s Education Interventions, Bedarlin is working hard to make this dream a reality.
Now, Bedarlin’s biggest dream is to graduate from college and buy a house for her mother – so she doesn’t need to worry when it rains. With support from Compassion’s Education Interventions, Bedarlin is working hard to make this dream a reality.
Bedarlin’s college tutors helped her to take an aptitude test to see which courses would best suit her. She was thrilled to discover that Physical Education was an option. “I used to play volleyball and loved running in my free time. I am passionate about everything that has to do with sports, and I also love teaching,” she says.
Bedarlin’s mother, Demetria, is hopeful that her daughter’s hard work at college will give her opportunities for a brighter future.
“Without the project, we would be poorer and live with less hope,” says Demetria. “With the help my daughter has received at the project, she has been able to take courses that I would never have been able to afford. Thanks to the project, she has been able to develop what God had already put in her.”
Your donation will help provide the essential resources for children to go beyond primary education. Contribute today to keep children in school so they can grow academically and prepare for a successful future.
Thanks to this programme, my dream of becoming a nurse has become a reality. I am very happy, because before I felt that I was not valued. My life has changed. I am more useful to my community and my country which are in great need of medical professionals.

I used to envy those that were learning computers and it was my prayer that I would also be competent in computers someday. Nowadays I arrive early at the centre during programme days which is very different from my prior attendance. I have learnt that there are hidden abilities of children that one cannot know until an environment has been created to unleash the potential. And that is exactly what has happened here.

Thank God my life changed with the opportunity I had to continue my studies in Auto Mechanics. It has enabled me to work and support my family financially. It also makes me very happy because I will dedicate myself to something that I like and that will now be my job.
