Loomis Students "Dollars for Dora" Car Wash

Date:

April 18th, 2009.

Students from the Loomis Chaffee School are raising "Dollars for Dora" to help pay for the school tuition for Dora Cepeda, a second grader in Ecuador. In 2005 Dora had been run over while begging in the streets of Rio Bamba, her hometown, and her injuries were too severe to be treated inher own country. Her broken leg had healed in such a way that she was actually walking on her ankle. Volunteers for a group called Healing the Children, which funds a medical clinic in that town, brought her to theUnited States for a series of very difficult operations and physical therapy treatments. Dora spent her first grade year in school in Simsbury,where her energy and quick wit amazed everyone. She is now walking and running, and lives at a Catholic school in Ecuador to ensure her safety,good nutrition, continued wound care, and distance from an active volcano near Rio Bamba which often pollutes the air and causes respiratory problems. Schools in Simsbury and West Hartford have already raised somemoney for both her education and for the support of the clinic in Rio Bamba.
