DRIVE FOR HAITIAN AND DOMINICAN YOUTH IN SUMMER DANCE PROGRAM IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Temple Emanuel and the Social Action Committee are again collaborating with Jean Appolon, a member of the Mass Avenue Baptist Church, a well-known dance instructor, and founder of Jean Appolon Expressions, a Boston-based Haitian dance company. Jean has been traveling with members of his dance troupe to the Caribbean since 2006 to provide a free program for young dancers exploring connection and culture through dance. Some of the youngsters travel over four hours to attend his daily classes! The peace and solace they gain from this experience is immeasurable and the need is enormous.
This year’s drive will collect specific clothing items, backpacks, and school supplies for boys and girls ages 11 – 19. We will also collect new or gently-used sneakers.
