In its own words
Charlie's foundation is dedicated to expanding opportunities for the children of the dominican republic. By supplementing an underfouded and over-crowded education system. We teach dominican youth the english language connecting them with the wider world and improving their future career prospects. Our method combines english lessons with tennis instruction because we believe in the power of sport to motivate challenge and inspire.
