Salem High School principal Daniel Keever will be traveling to the Dominican Republic later this month. There, he will spend a week helping to build a school for children and families in the city of Constanza.

Keever is joining in on the work as part of a Lifetouch Memory Mission®. Lifetouch, the leading national provider of school and family photography, organizes these humanitarian efforts around the world.

According to Lifetouch, since the inception of these missions in 2000, participants have helped rebuild a village in war-ravaged Kosovo, repair homes in Appalachia, establish a children’s center in Jamaica and construct a bridge in the land of the Navajo in Arizona. They have also built 12 schools across Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Lifetouch invited school administrators, principals, educators and PTA members throughout North America to come work alongside its staff in the Dominican Republic.

While out of the country, Keever will stay in contact with Salem’s students. He will help give the high schoolers a more global perspective by sharing his personal experience, his surroundings and the progress of the construction project.
