Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had any info on volunteer opportunities in Santo Domingo? I moved here in January from the U.S. and have been looking online without much luck. I'm currently taking spanish lessons from a private tutor, but I still have a long way to go with my conversation skills so a place that has some English speakers would be great. I know there are some opportunities teaching English, but I'd rather try some other type of volunteer work. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I did website development for a financial institution prior to moving to the DR so I am able to do various types of technical work or really any administrative duties that are needed. I don't have any teaching experience, but I am great with kids. My Spanish skills are very limited at the moment. I'm currently in Santo Domingo without a car so La Urena may be too far for me to travel. Is there an easy way to get there via public transportation?

Get in touch with Juanita [send her a PM/private message], she does volunteer work with an orphanage in Santo Domingo, I'm sure she can point you in some right directions!
