One of the things that continues to surprise us about the relationship between AllPeopleBeHappy and Yspaniola is just how deeply our values align.
For years, the community of Batey Libertad dreamed of having a park where their children could play, gather, and simply be kids.
They brought that dream forward as an Impact Project with AllPeopleBeHappy. Together with Yspaniola, we helped turn that idea into a reality.
With an investment of approximately $8,000, the new park will directly benefit around 200 children, creating a space they can enjoy not just once, but day after day, for years to come.
Last week, we had the privilege of being in Batey Libertad for the park’s inauguration. A group of teenagers from Ecuador joined the celebration, witnessing what can happen when a community’s ideas, hopes, and determination are met with partnership.
There was music, laughter, and children playing. There was a community celebrating something that belongs to them.
Now, the celebration is over. School is back. And the park begins its real life — as a place for children to play after school, families to gather, and a community to enjoy something they dreamed of and helped bring to life.
This is what community partnership is about: listening first, supporting a community’s own vision, and helping create something that lasts. 🌎❤️
