I will be staying in the Riu Complex in Punta Cana from May 1-15th, 2010. We want to take a few suitcases of donations to the El Mundo Mejor Oprhanage in Higuey. I have been told that this is not on a bus route and that we will need to take a taxi. Does anyone know the approximate cost of this trip (I heard it's about 45mins).

We also want to go to Santo Domingo for a day. I am looking into medical schools and would like to check out UNIBE. I'm not sure what the best way would be to get there...

Does anyone know of anyone that does a private driving service or individual that would be willing to take us to both locations?

Email Bronley at IBK taxis, he is familiar with the orphanage and can give you prices. They provide reliable service with English speaking drivers. info@ibkservicios.com Tel: 809 299 0582.

Re: Santo Domingo day trip, 3hrs drive from Punta Cana - it would be a long day. Again Bronley should be able to help with prices.

Good luck

ps. if you can't get to the orphanage then contact Mike Fisher via the contact form on http://www.excursionscorner.comhttp://www.excursionscorner.com/ he will collect your generous donations and take them to the kiddies.

Thanks for all the info. I have contacted Mike Fisher and he gave me the contact information for the orphanage. Normally I would just have the items picked up at the resort, but I work for a college in Canada that is looking to choose its 'charitable commitment' and I was hoping that this orphanage could be the one for them. They are hoping I can check it out, and also see if there might be volunteer opportunities for some of our students to come down and help out in the community. Hopefully everything works out and we can bring more and more donations in the future.
