• Remodeling and Relaunch of the CCDA: Synergies Cares Foundation together with other private institutions have invested in the Centro Dominico Americano (CCDA) to relaunch the institution. The renovations came hand-in-hand with the English immersion program, an initiative supported by the U. S.

The goal of this immersion program is to graduate 240 English speaking students a year, giving them an opportunity to enter the labor market.
