$5 |
A school uniform for a Montessori preschool student. All public school students in the Dominican Republic are required to wear a uniform. DREAM hopes to provide one uniform to every student in each of our programs to ensure that coming to school prepared to learn does not drain family resources. |

$15 |
A hardcover book in Spanish for our Community Public Library in the DREAM Center. Most families we work with don't have books in their homes. To develop a love of books is the most powerful motivation to learn to read, and it is our goal to instill that love in the children in our schools. |

$25 |
A week of nutritious meals for an impoverished preschool student. In an effort to provide basic nutrition and public health education, The DREAM Project offers free nutritious meals to preschool children in our Montessori programs. The meals also provide motivation for school attendance, greatly increasing the amount of underprivileged youth receiving quality education in isolated areas. |

$40 |
One box of 150 Nutritional Supplements for impoverished preschool children. Many children in rural areas of the Dominican Republic, like Batey Caraballo, are in a very poor nutritional state. Children sometimes appear 2-3 years younger than normal due to malnourishment. DREAM will offer nutritional supplements to the children in our programs in Batey Caraballo to improve health, and in turn, attendance to our educational programs. |
