DREFF Sponsors Screening of A Sea Turtle Story at the Tree of Hope in Santo Domingo

The Tree of Hope, located in the central atrium of the Ágora Mall, was the backdrop on August 23rd for the screening of the animated short film A Sea Turtle Story, thanks to the Dominican Republic Environmental Film Festival’s (DREFF) Year Round Environmental Film Screenings program.

The event, coordinated by the Tropicalia Foundation and Educa, brought together dozens of children and adults who could see through this
film, made with the technique of stop-motion animation, the description of the life cycle of this endangered species.

A discussion on the current status of sea turtles in the Dominican Republic was carried out after the screening, in which all questions by the audience were answered.

Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (GFDD) and its sister organization in the Dominican Republic, Fundación Global Democracia y Desarrollo (Funglode, by its
Spanish acronym), have organized the 5th edition of the DREFF, to be held from September 8th – 13th. The Ágora Mall will be one of the main screening locations in Santo Domingo for the Festival.

The Tree of Hope is an initiative that promotes social solidarity and commitment to organizations working in the areas of health and education, and is in its 3rd edition.

The tree stands in the court of the first level of the Ágora Mall from July
16th to August 30th, and takes on shape and color from flowers purchased by attendees and families visiting the mall.
