Operation Opportunity is a project that will bring aid to a village in the Dominican Republic. Alongside World Vision, Fusion will find creative ways to supply the village with school supplies to help improve the education; and money for an irrigation system to be put in. There will be many different kinds of projects and creative activities for students to participate in to help raise a goal of $25,000. This project is not to be considered a fund raiser.
Fusion will work to educate the youth about the leading causes of poverty and how it is affecting the people of the Dominican Republic. Our hope is that students will begin the habit of thinking about the suffering world and how they can help to change it.

Backpack Project
Sunday, September 16th and 23rd
When buying paper and pens we often don’t think twice about what education would be like without these supplies. Due to inadequate supplies in the Dominican Republic students are unable to reach their full potential in education. One of the leading causes of poverty is an inadequate education. The school supplies project will help fight poverty in the Dominican Republic through enabling students to have better jobs and offering their community more. Here is what you can do to help. Buy the following and deliver to BRCC on September 16th and 23rd.
Things to include in your backpack:
- One Backpack (neutral color so it can be for a boy or girl)
- One package (7 or 8 count) wooden pencils without designs
- One package (10 or 12 count) ballpoint pens—blue or black ink
- Two 6 x 9-inch steno notebooks
- One pencil sharpener
- One large pink eraser
- One package (24 count ONLY) regular-size crayons
- One 12-inch ruler with metric measurements
- A greeting card signed by YOU!
- One extra special item such as: colored pencils, or construction paper.
Please include all the items not more or less to ensure that no child is disappointed by receiving less than what another child receives.
Deliver the backpack to BRCC on Sunday, September 16th or 23rd. Thank you for your help in fighting poverty and enhancing lives in the Dominican Republic.
