So so sad. Read the book Intersex. It is a novel but gives a good idea of the trauma. At the end of the book is a listing of countries where this is most prevalent. The Dominican Republic is one. In fact we have a beloved elderly doctor here who married his first cousin. His son was a...

I must begin by thanking the members of dr1 who always are available to give us support, whether it is by donations of books, or barrels, or supporting children whose families do not have the resources to pay for their children to attend our little school. It is interesting to note, at the end...

and GBC is great!!!!!

Thanks, Rob. It was a challenging group, but in the end, they all pulled it together.

Several of you have supported our kiddos with scholarships towards their education. Without you, these children would not have been able to attend school. On Wednesday, we had our kindergarten graduation. The video below gives you a 59 second glimpse of our children and the event. Enjoy the...

I thought GoFundMe would not accept donations or post solicitations from the DR. I tried the link and it did not work.

Always when talking to my friends in the US, they end the conversation saying, you be careful there (meaning in the DR.) We went to the US for a family get together and graduation. We are staying in Columbus Ohio, in a good part of town called the Short North, which is a few blocks lined with...

Happy Mother’s Day to you!

We give scholarships to families who have a combined income of 15,000 or less. Recently we realized that clear cut off was muden- some of these families also are recipientes of remitances from abroad.

What I know is that if I have a problem with an employee, I must document it, discuss it with the employee, have them sign it, then register it with the Ministry of Trabajo. (Don’t we do something similar in our home countries?) I believe (correcto me if I am wrong) after three such...

Ok. I went to the Gov website and completed all the info as if I were applying right now. Get this! They have a sale going on and you can renew your passport at new low price! Hahaha! The fastest service which I would need if my husband we’re to mail it and bring it back to me costs $500! On...

Yes, I think you are right. The last time I renew es at the consúltate in Puerto Plata I had to go there be sign for it. My husband just told me that he has to be in the US for a week in July. I could fill out all the forms and he send it while in the US, But then how would I get it back? I...

One more question…….this is a round way about doing it, but if it might prevent me from being flagged….Could I go to Domex, fill out the forms, pay the money, then have it sent to my US mailbox which would then send it on to me? Would that work or is it stupid?

Great information!!!! Thank you!

I am not very good with the search button here. The most recent information I see is from 2023. So please, either give me the correct thread with a recent answer or some advice, here. In October 2025, I am traveling to the US for a month. My passport expires the beginning of March. Since -...
