Bad news, Lucas. The doctor called to the Health Ministry in Santo Domingo. They told her that there are no vaccines in the country.

Sure. I'll send her a message and let you know.

I got it here in Jamao in the DR. The contagious desease doctor who works in our little public hospital ordered it for me and a friend who was also traveling. She had it sent in from the public hospital in Moca. If you are on the north coast and do not Mind traveling up to Jamao I could see if...

I had a COVID vaccination before traveling to the US. Good thing because while I was there my grandson came down with COVID. (Let’s not get into the CoVID debate again.) The point I want to share with you is that the doctor said that the COVID vaccine also includes the flu vaccine. So either...

He can drive up to my place in Jamao and stay in my guest house!

It is open and it is my favorite.

There is also a German butcher next to the entrance to Sosua Ocean Village. So many places in sosua to eat schnitzel. And all are good.

Are there wealthy churches here? I don’t know. But I do know- generally speaking- Dominicans are not givers. They are takers. I am friends with several priests here. The ones I know receive a monthly salary of between 5,000 and 10,000. Pesos, that is. The parish priest receives a truck, but...

I was buying Nexguard at Dr. de la Cruz, but with 4 dogs - 3 of them big ones - it was costing me around 6,000 every month. Personally, I am still fighting scabies, though it is better than before and actually, when I was in the US for three weeks, I was cured. No sooner got off the airplane...

Thanks so much! We know that often trucks are donated. You just need to find the right contact. Appreciate your support and any help you can give to get us through this network.

Thanks to those of you who generously supported this cause. Every bit helps us to be one step closer to our goal!

Hi, Friends- I traveled to the US for a board meeting. Our mayor came along and I introduced him to two fire departments. Jamao has land to build a station and we will do some local fund raisers in Jamao for building funds.. Meanwhile one of the fire departments just replaced their suits and...

I have seen the Daisy brand here. Can’t remember where. Maybe Nacional.

Yes. Although in the past I had standards. Was always attracted to Wranglers.

I drive a Jeep Wrangler. It is perfect for me because I can drive to the off road mountain communities. I love its ruggedness. It is looking a little beat up these days due to my bad judgement when moving in tight spots. But am headed out of the country next week and I gave instruction to make...

In defense (or not!) of the ministry of education, a good friend of mine told me that there was a school in Plata Plata that received a smart board for every classroom. Only problem was that the Ministry of Education provided no training on how to use it. My friend asked me if I was...

I agree with you all. And instead of providing devices to individuals, update the electronics in the classroom, tablets, smart boards, etc. Make the teacher accountable by taking regular inventories of devices in each classroom. We own and use various times daily the only Smart Board in Jamao...

We also have public schools that accept Haitians. Haitians in Jamao Pueblo work construction. Those in the mountain communities work in the farms.

We have several Haitians in our little school. They are poor, POOR. Each receives a scholarship (thanks, in part to some dr1 members) but they still are obligated to pay a token amount. For one woman, even 200 pesos a month was too much, so we are having her come every morning to prepare and...

Am headed to the US shortly so if I do not have results by then, I will see a doctor there.
