The mission visited 3 areas in the Island Nation. Haina, a port town to the West of the Capital Santo Domingo. San Pedro de Macoris, where we serviced the Sugar cane field workers, and Aldeas Infantiles an orphanage that houses and educates children and young women.
We are proud that our business is in a position to offer such help to the poorest communities that have little to no access to regular preventive health care. CF&B/Inca Kola USA has always given back to local communities and this is our way to say thank you to the enormous Dominican community in the United States that supports our brand Inca Kola. The Mission is in honor of The Founders of Inca Kola in the United States, Lourdes and Luis Jardines Del Castillo who were always a part of this mission during their lives and we are proud to carry on their legacy.
