In March, we had the privilege of hosting a visit from WestCare President, Mr. Richard Steinberg and his family. He visited the Caribbean region (Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands, and the Dominican Republic). During his time with us, Mr. Steinberg actively engaged in the Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Virgin Islands Community Action Council (CAC) meetings, where he had the opportunity to learn about the community work that is being carried out in the Caribbean. He also met with the chairs of the CACs, including the former rector of the Technology University of Santiago, Ms. Maria Elena Cruz Batista (Dominican Republic CAC), Ms. Lymaris Rodriguez (former chair, Puerto Rico CAC), and Dr. Carlos Rodriguez Mateo (new chair of Puerto Rico CAC)of Puerto Rico CAC) along with key government officials like the Director of the Ministry of Drugs of the Dominican Republic, General Marte Martínez, who expressed strong support for our endeavors in the Dominican Republic.
These interactions fostered stronger connections and collaboration aimed at enhancing the continuity and expansion of our services in these countries. Both our dedicated staff and clients had the opportunity to engage with Mr. Steinberg, providing firsthand insights into the impactful community work unfolding across the Caribbean.
