2 | MARIPOSA DR FOUNDATION 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
It’s hard to believe that we started just five years ago. What began with one girl and a symbolic $1 deposit into a bank account has grown into a thriving organization, working to address one of the most important causes of our time, girls. We’ve grown from 1 to 150 and we are seeing change. Attitudes are changing and families are seeing that young girls are not merely domestic laborers and burdens that consume resources, but powerful forces for change that will lift their entire family out of generational poverty. We have a lot to celebrate and a lot of work to do. Thank you for being a part of our success! MARIPOSA DR FOUNDATION 2014 ANNUAL REPORT | 3

letter from executive director Dear Friends, In 2014 we celebrated our five year anniversary and the inauguration of The Mariposa Center for Girls, the first facility of its kind on the island of Hispaniola. The year began with an incredible three day celebration and gala at our new center with more than 500 local and international guests, and ended with the town’s largest holiday celebration at the annual Mariposa Christmas Fair. These celebrations bring the community together and give our girls a chance to show off all of their talent and hard work. We celebrate often - birthdays, International Day of the Girl, International Women’s Day, Earth Day, graduations and more. We have much to be proud of and to celebrate. It was just five years ago that there were no opportunities for girls in our town to play sports, no ways for girls to express themselves through visual and performing arts, no one to advocate for their rights. In fact, five years ago, most 14 and 15 year old girls in Cabarete were dropping out of school. Today, things have changed and girls are leading the charge in lifting their entire families out of generational poverty. We remain forever grateful for your support and confidence in our work. As we look back on all we have accomplished together, we can only imagine the incredible things that lie ahead. Thank you for believing in us.
Patricia Suriel Executive Director

In 2014 we began our partnership with Artists Striving to End Poverty (ASTEP), a program that connects performing and visual artists with underserved youth around the world. ASTEP volunteers bring the joy, hard work and discipline of theater and dance classes to the Mariposa girls, empowering them to produce spectacular performances and enriching our Arts and Culture program.

Service learning and global partnerships
2014 was a year of tremendous growth for the service trip and experiential learning programs at our Volunteer Institute. We welcomed more than 500 students from all over the United States and Canada to help us make important improvements to the Mariposa Center for Girls, local schools, family homes and other community spaces. Students and program participants experienced a rich cultural exchange and formed life-long bonds. Together with our partners at Education First and other various educational institutions, we were able to create countless meaningful connections, learning opportunities and invested more than $150,000 directly into the infrastructure of our local community.

Special Events
the MARIPOSA CENTER FOR GIRLS INAUGURATION GALA In February 2014 we officially celebrated the inauguration of The Mariposa Center for Girls in Cabarete, Dominican Republic.

After acquiring the land for The Mariposa Center for Girls in late 2012, board members, staff, volunteers and community partners worked extremely hard for 18 months to transform an abandoned school into a stunning facility to educate and empower girls. After three years of not having our own space, we celebrated our new phase of growth with a spectacular event, welcoming families, local and international guests for a three day extravaganza. Activities included whale watching, community tours and a private screening of acclaimed documentary Girl Rising and Q&A with Executive Producer, Holly Gordon. At the grand opening gala, guests were wowed by spectacular performances from the Mariposa Girls who worked hard with choreographer Jose-Luis Lopez to prepare three numbers specially written for them by Lin-Manuel Miranda, girls that performed with our local partner organization, Kaiceitos Circus, and girls that participate in our music program.

Special performances also included classical musicians Liuh-Wen Ting and David Gardos, opera singer Sergio Laccone, and a very special rap by Lin-Manuel Miranda. After multiple days of fabulous events, the Gala was a spectacular evening of celebration. We not only commemorated all the hard work that had gotten the Mariposa Center and Mariposa girls to where they were, but rejoiced in all the greatness that is to come. A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors for a wonderful weekend, Bliss Restaurant, Cabarete Coffee Company, Electra, Infiniti Blu, Kaiceitos Circus, Millennium Resort & Spa, Otra Cosa, SnapFiesta, Yamazato.
LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA Lin-Manuel Miranda is a Tony and Grammy Award-winning composer, actor, rapper and lyricist. His first Broadway musical In the Heights depicts life in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City, an area largely populated by Dominican immigrants and Dominican-Americans. Miranda created a hip-hop album based on the life of Alexander Hamilton and was invited to perform one of the songs at the White House Evening of Poetry, Music and the Spoken Word in 2009. He has created a new Broadway musical based on this album, debuting in 2015. In 2014 Lin-Manuel Miranda lent his magnificent talents to the Mariposa DR Foundation to help inaugurate the Mariposa Center for Girls. Miranda and his wife Vanessa Nadal attended the inauguration activities as our special guests, and contributed greatly to a successful event. Thank you!

border of lights was a great success this year! Border of Lights is an annual event in October that lights the border between the Dominican Republic and Haiti in remembrance of the massacre of thousands of Haitians and Dominicans of Haitian descent under the brutal dictatorship of Trujillo. Unfortunately the discrimination against Haitians has prevailed all these years. It is for that reason we have worked tenaciously to unite the Dominican and Haitian Mariposa girls at our Center. All of the Mariposa girls made the trip to the border city of Dajab贸n, which was the epicenter of the government-sponsored genocide over 75 years ago. In preparation for the trip all of the girls learned about the history of the tension between the Dominican Republic and Haiti, and the current problems of racism and discrimination facing Haitians and Dominicans of Haitian descent in the DR. This year the Mariposa Foundation did a special project to create a mural out of recycled materials depicting harmony between the two nations on this small island. 12 | MARIPOSA DR FOUNDATION 2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Part of the success of this mural was the full integration of all the Mariposa girls in the development of the project. Although the trip was designed for the older girls, the younger Maripositas scoured their communities to help collect bottle caps for the mural project. The design of the mural was developed by the Mariposa girls alongside Johannil, our amazing art therapy volunteer. Leading up to the trip the girls’ attendance and enthusiasm was high as they worked diligently on the preparation of materials for the trip (bottle caps, bracelets, and music rehearsals). The camaraderie and enthusiasm for the project shined through as the girls led a number of activities (mural making, friendship bracelets, zumba classes, juggling and a musical performance), all of which successfully integrated community members in the park in Dajabón. At the end of the activities, the girls enjoyed dinner and conversation with Julia Alvarez and a moving candle light vigil in honor of the massacre. After a long day full of activities, we stayed the night in Monte Cristi, which was for many of our girls their first time staying in a hotel. The following morning we did several reflection activities on the beach and enjoyed a beautiful day. The girls (as well as staff members and volunteers) grew tremendously on this trip, both individually and as a group. We look forward to seeing the manifestations of this experience surface throughout the year!

loving our environment At the Mariposa Center for Girls environmental education is included in every aspect of programming. Our girls learn to love the Earth, and how to take good care of it. We not only teach our girls about the importance of taking care of the environment, but we are educating the next generation of environmental activists. At the 3rd Annual Earth Day Celebration the girls participated in a tree planting ceremony, created recycled art projects and put on a spectacular performance for local community partners and guests. The girls performed a series of skits, highlighting the differences between organic and inorganic materials and how we can preserve the earth by reducing our use of inorganic material. All of the girls painted ceramic pots filled with dirt and seeds to bring home to their families so that they will all have a plant growing in their home to reflect on and be proud of what they learned. Later in the year, the Mariposa girls joined in the protest in Loma Miranda against a mining project that is putting the most important watershed in the Cibao region at risk. They were invited to perform on the opening night of seven days of musical protest, participated in workshops and spent time exploring the natural beauty of the area they became so passionate about protecting. Thanks to the efforts they were a part of, this potentially harmful mining project has been put on hold. We love Mother Earth!
SunEdison and Soluz, two leading providers of solar energy solutions and services in the US and Dominican Republic donated an entire 9.9kW solar energy system to power The Mariposa Center for Girls! Our center is now one of the largest educational facilities in the Dominican Republic that is completely powered by renewable energy. We would like to extend a special thank you to SunEdison, and to Advisory Board member Richard Hansen, Founder and CEO of Soluz, for making this happen, and to SolarWave for providing additional training and support on this important project.

older mariposas participate in workshop with beat making lab For two weeks in July 2014, a small group of our oldest girls participated in a Beat Making Lab with Pierce Freelon and Stephen Levitin (www.beatmakinglab.com).
The Beat Making Lab helps to unleash the creativity in adolescents through intensive training in an electronic music studio small enought to fit in a backpack. Equipped with a laptop, microphone and some software, the Mariposa girls set out to write their own songs, make some beats and film their very own music video.

LIFESAVING TRAINING, SURF CAMP AND 1ST MARIPOSA SURF CONTEST EVER
This past summer we had some special new additions to our normal swim and surf programs. Throughout the summer twenty Mariposa girls aged 7-17 surfed for three hours a day, five days a week, to learn how to surf for the first time or improve their skills. Seventeen of the oldest Mariposa girls participated in an intensive lifesaving program provided by ISLA, the International Surf Lifesaving Association.
Water safety is a core part of all of our water sports programs
Surf on Mariposa girls! The summer culminated in the first ever Mariposa Surf Competition, in which all the Mariposa girls got to go to the beach and support the Mariposas that have been learning to surf. It was a morning of enthusiasm and excitement as different heats of Mariposa girls surfed in front of the judges and the winners were awarded prizes.

generosity
arts with a heart On February 8, the same night as the inauguration gala, there was another event going on thousands of miles away to benefit the Mariposa Center for Girls. The Castilleja School is an independent school for girls in grades 6-12 in Palo Alto, California. In 2014 they held an event called “Arts with a Heart� in which students performed a dance they created in collaboration with the Mariposa girls through Skype sessions. While they performed the choreography inspired by the Mariposa girls, pictures of our girls and our work were projected on a large backdrop. Those that attended the event were able to make donations in support of the Mariposa DR Foundation. The event was a great success, raising more than $25,000 to sponsor the performing arts room at The Mariposa Center for Girls, allowing our girls to continue exploring their passion for the arts in a new, beautiful space.
