International Student Volunteers: Dominican Republic
In and around Dominican Republic
During this trip I traveled with over 30 other college students from around the United States and Canada to the Dominican Republic. We stayed with host families, had spanish lessons, did volunteer work in the poor villiages in the Dominican (both Haitian refugees and dominicans), and then traveled to different cities and participated in many adventure activites. We were in the DR for about a month.
