Reaching out to the local community

The Elliot Foundation, part of the Sun Village Resorts holding company, has entered into partnership
with CitiHope International to donate US$200,000 worth of medical supplies to poor families in the
Puerto Plata area. Sun Village Resorts is a Canadian founded company with operations at Cofresi
Beach, Puerto Plata and will soon be opening a resort at Juan Dolio Beach.

"We are blessed and honored with the opportunity to support CitiHope's mission assisting people in
need in the Dominican Republic,"
said Derek Elliott, co-founder of the Elliott Foundation and president
and CEO of Elliott.

"Since the opening of our first Dominican Republic resort Sun Village Resort & Spa Cofresi, we have
become very involved in the local Puerto Plata community. Funding a CitiHope mission helps us make
lives healthier and more comfortable in an impoverished community that, despite a recent explosion in
tourism, still needs so much."  

The materials are being airlifted in March. CitiHope International and The Elliott Foundation will then
distribute the materials to local medical institutions and physicians.  For more information about the
