"THREE CUPS OF COFFEE" A SUCCESS!

Three Cups
EAB's first large-scale fundraising event was a triumph! We are so grateful to all those who gave their time, talent, and treasure toward making this a truly special occasion. We're especially thankful to Felicia Puntiel Pichardo (pictured, center) for making the trip all the way from the Dominican Republic to Seattle, and for inspiring us with her stories of hope and perseverance. Over $14,000 was raised to fund EAB's most critical programs, including the electrification of our community clinic, showcased below as a featured project.

¡GRACIAS!


FEATURED PROJECT

Clinic ElectricityCentro Asistencial San Gregorio is a free-access rural clinic in the community of Franco Bido. Since its opening in 2002, it has served hundreds of families in a remote mountainous region of the Dominican Republic who are otherwise without access to medical care. View its new page to see photos and learn more about how you can help to expand its mission.


FEATURED SUPPORTERS

Pasando Block

This July, groups from Seattle-area Holy Names Catholic High School and Sacred Heart Parish participated in EAB's Pentecost Project immersion program. For two weeks apiece, the groups formed relationships and shared life with the residents of EAB's partner communities, as well as lent a hand to the realization of several community improvement projects that their fundraising made possible. Three families now live in dignified and cool cement-block homes thanks in large part to their efforts. Our photo slideshow documents trip highlights.
