The program “A Look of Love through Badminton in DR” is being implemented in all 17 regions of the country. Its main objective is to promote the development of Dominican children by strengthening family relationships and using badminton as a means to foster personal growth and universal values such as leadership, teamwork, discipline, and self-esteem. The program also aims to break the cycle of poverty, promote gratitude, respect, and stimulate participation in sports, education, culture, and art.
This program represents a significant step in bringing development and positive change to communities with limited resources. It is an opportunity to create harmony, beauty, and joy in the lives of individuals and their communities.
