Interesting article in today's Sunday Times about Leonel's visit to NYC... I actually think an intelligent idea may come out of it, the Dominican Peace Corps program.
I personally know a lot of young Dominican-Americans my age (early 20's) that would be interested in this program, and if not directly interested, their parents would make them interested. I think it's a great way to capitalize on this diaspora and the strange relationship that has come out of the huge number of Dominicans in NYC still helping out back home, but at this point, only financially.
Any thoughts? Potential problems?
