In April the DRC established a Facebook page to give individuals a place to engage in conversation about the Dom people of the Middle East & North Africa. While our website continues to be the place to find detailed information, Facebook will give us all a convenient way to dialogue with one another, share pictures, stories, projects, and other information. Be sure to "Like" the Facebook page so that you will receive notifications when new posts are made. Click here to connect to Facebook, then simply search for the Dom Research Center. We look forward to having you join in the conversations.

The Domari Community Center in Jerusalem has carried out very successful after school tutoring programs for children, and literacy classes for adult women. But recently, a dozen Dom men approached Amoun Sleem (the Director of the Center) about literacy classes for men. Most of these men are employed, but need reading and writing skills in order to get promotions or better jobs. In some cases, language proficiency would enable the men to obtain their drivers’ licenses which would open up additional job opportunities to them.
This winter a 3 months literacy program will be sponsored jointly by the Domari Society and the Dom Research Center. A professional teacher will be hired to teach 3 hours of classes each week for the 3 months period.
Sponsors are needed for the second term of classes which will be taught in the Spring. $5.35 (US Dollars) will sponsor one student for one hour of studies, or $192 (US Dollars) will provide funding for one student to attend the full 3 months program. The Domari Society and the Dom Research Center invite you to sponsor a student for the second term of classes. Click the link below to make a contribution. Contributions are tax deductible for US tax payers.
