Last Sunday, Yuleisy (one of our Dominican helpers), had her High School graduation ceremony. Katie was privileged to be invited to this special occasion. They treat graduation similar to how we treat prom. The girls wear fancy dresses and the boys suits. Each student is allowed to invite 7 people, and it costs them over 3,000 pesos to graduate ($79). Many students can't afford to graduate even though they've finished school. Some will continue to save until they have enough money to graduate years later. As you now know, graduation is a big deal for these people!
