[/QUOTE]can a visitor just show up there with donations? Stevi
If you'll be staying in the Puerto Plata area while you're here in the D.R, you could visit Casa Albergue de Martina. If you tell the cab driver it's near 'puente seco' they should know what you're talking about. It's an all girls orphanage--33 girls between the ages of 2- 18.
Happy visiting!
The orphanage phone number is (809) 261-0276. Unless they have a volunteer working there right now, chances are none of the nuns will understand english. If you have some spanish you'll have better luck with your communication.

DrChrisHE, when is visitor's day at the orphanage? It's in April right, I would be interested in visiting the kids again.
Is the orphanage in JD still open?
