The flag of the Dominican Republic at the top of “La Fortaleza” or “The Fortress” in Santo Domingo.

Hi everyone! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. Feel free to leave comments and ask questions about the culture, language, or any other topic I will write about.

I am extremely excited to begin working at a school in Lechería, located in Santo Domingo. I will be assisting in various activities in the classroom, as well as providing specialized instruction to children with special needs. In addition, I will be working with CSA’s Alerta Joven program and teaching English to adolescents through a community organization by the name of Café con Leche. Additional information about me, my placement agency, and the Dominican Republic can be found in other sections of my page.

I hope you will enjoy reading about my experiences in this beautiful country – and maybe pick up a few Spanish words along the way!
