GEXPAYE, un proyecto socio-comunitario piloto de educación alternativa por medio del aprendizaje libre, lleva dos años en el sector 27 de Febrero, antiguo Altos de la Javiela , uno de los sectores más vulnerables por la violencia en San Francisco de Macorís; cada día reafirmamos en la vida de cada niño y niña la importancia de un aprendizaje libre y una cultura de paz, justicia y responsabilidad.
Este verano estamos desarrollando el Campamento de Verano GEXPAYE 2012, un campamento piloto de salud y cultura de paz en el
barrio 27 de Febrero de este municipio, con el propósito de llevarles una alternativa educacional de salud,
desarrollo integral de la niñez, y construcción de una cultura de paz
Consideramos la pobreza la peor forma de violencia, e
incluye los siguientes elementos: malnutrición y su resultante falta de salud,
agresión física, emocional, y verbal, represión, apatía,
fealdad y ruido en el ambiente con su estresante efecto mental,
emocional y espiritual (consideramos que la
espiritualidad no tiene nada que ver con la religión),carencia de experiencias fuera de su entorno, entre otros. En nuestro campamento queremos asistir a la
transformación de la cultura de pobreza y su violencia en una cultura de paz.

This summer GEXPAYEoffering a health and culture of peace camp, hoping to provide educational health-oriented alternatives to help us create a culture a peace. We know poverty to be the worse kind of violence and usually includes the following elements: malnutrition and its effects, physical and verbal aggression, repression, high levels of stress , lack of experiences outside their surroundings, etc. We hope to assist in transforming this violence into a culture of peace through the arts, yoga, yudo, free-play, outings, healthy-snacks, medical and psychological exams. We have requested funds from our city hall, certain banks and other companies and have received an agreement of a donation by our city hall but that remains to be seen since corruption here is so high. We remain hopeful. But we are happy to inform that we have the collaboration of Doctor Zoila Henriquez and the institution CONANY which will provide us with a psychologist.
