On November 4th, 2022, a tropical wave and heavy rains caused severe flooding throughout the city of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. Almost all of the city streets have been flooded, and some of our participants' homes sustained damage. So far, six participants and their families as well as one Child Development Center (CDC) has been impacted by the flooding. The Compassion Dominican Republic National Office has provided funds to assist the affected families and will continue to monitor the situation for additional needs.

Please pray for these families as they repair the damages and return to normal activities.
