Then and Now ... a building with a theme
For nearly 100 years, helping children one way or another has been the purpose of this building.
To the left, the students and faculty in front of the Episcopal school "Colegio San Esteban" in San Pedro de Macorís (circa 1921).
Today the same building houses the "Tribunal de Niños y Adolescentes" (Juvenile Court) that decides child custody cases and other matters. The community health team is working with the court's judges and social workers to develop better prevention strategies for domestic violence.
