volunteers and donors who, after visiting a public school in Cabarete with no running water or electricity, were compelled to improve <span class=\"xn-location\">Latin America&#8217;s<\/span> poorest performing education system. They established both a US and Dominican non-profit organization to create change. From acclaimed author <span class=\"xn-person\">Julia Alvarez<\/span> and Pulitzer Prize winner Junot D\u00edaz, to the first Dominican-born member of Congress, <span class=\"xn-person\">Adriano Espaillat<\/span>, DREAM&#8217;s board has consisted of artists, athletes, educators, and philanthropists leading the charge to educate all Dominican youth. We build and run schools together with communities; we establish quality educational programs; and we stay and work with the communities until they are willing and able to do it on their own. This is what sets DREAM apart from other organizations. Our DREAM is that all children and youth in the <span class=\"xn-location\">Dominican Republic<\/span> will have equal opportunities to learn and realize their full potential through transformative education programs that combat the effects of poverty. DREAM serves more than 9,000 youth throughout 27 DREAM communities across the <span class=\"xn-location\">Dominican Republic<\/span>.
