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 -...

Both my gardener and the mother assistant en our colegio tried to get documents to be legal. They paid the costs. Took time off work to go to Santiago and Santo Domingo and time passes- months and months and they received nothing.

I just cannot take a stand on the Haiti/Dominican Republic immigration problems and those of my home country. I am a rule follower. I believe if there are laws and we decide not to follow them, then we must accept the consequences. But here in the DR, you and I know that laws are often just...

I would love the go fast boat, too!!!! In my younger years we had one. Probably my back would not be able to handle it now.

But to end today on a good note…..had an appointment with Ana after three years only getting hair services in the US from my dear friend and salon owner. I was so happy after my color and cut with Ana that when I arrived home In Jamao I needed to write to her again and thank her. Now THAT is...

Exactly, Meems. Last hairdresser I went to here was a Dominican woman. Every time I see a Dominican with a great haircut, I ask who does her hair. So this woman was mentioned and recommended several times. I went to my appointment, told the woman I wanted two inches cut off on my blunt cut...

He was a great Pope. Hope the new one is every bit as good.
