Dream North Foundation Debuts “Story Time With Dream North & Friends” In The Bahamas

Dream North Foundation (DNF), a new Los Angeles-based nonprofit that produces celebratory book reading events for underrepresented foster children locally and overseas, will host its signature "Story Time with Dream North & Friends" to its largest audience since its inception on Thursday, August 11, 2022, 9:30 am - 1:30 pm (ET) at the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort in Nassau, Bahamas. Since National Back to School Month is observed in August, 50 participating children inhabiting eight children's homes throughout various islands will receive over $250.00 worth of clothes, school supplies, gift cards, toys, and art supplies during the event.

Dream North Foundation is a California charity whose mission is to promote the advancement of underprivileged women and children who are survivors of abuse, sex trafficking, judicial challenges, and foster care systems. The organization also supplies programs for at-risk women and children including rehab assistance, group homes, and societal preparation and placement. This collaboration between the designated sites and DNF is intended to bridge cultural gaps between local governmental agencies and the at-risk communities they serve.

A comprehensive breakdown of the Bahamas engagement is outlined below.

#StoryTimeInTheBahamas:

In preparation for the commencement of the 2022-2023 school year, the Dream North Foundation is pleased to contribute specialty bags containing helpful goods, supplies, and accessories to children from the following homes: The Ranfurly Home for Children, Bilney Lane Children's Home, The Nazareth Center, Bahamas Children's Emergency Hostel, Cat Island Old Bight Children's Home, Grand Bahama Children's Home, Colby House, and the Elizabeth Estates Children's Home.

Most notably, Nychol Lyna, published author, founder/CEO of DNF, and Foster Care Advocate, will be reading FORGOTTEN BABY. The publication outlines the story of Mytaé, a 16-year-old who loses her mother and enters the foster care system. The highly anticipated book has become a beacon of hope for children who resonate with Mytaé's story and a guide to children's inner worlds for foster and adoptive parents. "Both my co-author and stepdaughter have been a part of the foster care system, which inspired me to start this foundation. As a family, we want to show foster youth that they are not alone, and they are loved," she said. "The purpose of the Story Time events is to give the youth opportunities to look forward to, offer scholarship opportunities designed to help their future, and produce events that celebrate all that they are. The future is full of hope and we want them to hold on to it, because life is beautiful!"

Bahamas Dream Wedding Contest Announcement:

During the event, DNF will announce an unforgettable contest for women transitioning from "rough times to love times," which includes a dream wedding at the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort in Summer 2023. Once a contest winner is selected, DNF plans to donate a couture wedding gown valued at $2,000.00 to the lucky bride, which will be customized by luxury designer Galia Lahav. The potential bride should submit a 60-second video explaining her plight before finding love, and additional contest rules will be announced at the Bahamas Bridal Association's Trade and Bridal Show on Sunday, September 4, 2022.

The Dream North Foundation is seeking corporate partners to maximize the Story Time experiences scheduled for the year.
