I posted a message similar to this one recently, however cannot seem to find it now, so I am re-posting. I am interested in bringing school supplies to an existing school in the "Marimon"? area near Puerto Plata. Additionally I would like to build an actual building in another area further up in the mountains. I have done this kind of work before in Haiti so the actual construction is not an issue.
What I need to know is 1) Who withing the government to contact. 2) How do I contact them (is it possible to do it via the internet) as I would like to have as much of the paperwork/red tape done prior to going down. 3) Although I have been told that all the materials I need are available in DR, would I get more value for my dollar if I purchase them there or purchase them in the US and have them shipped over.
I would probably be renting a house on a short term basis. Should I ship over personal type items: small appliances, TV, furniture, etc. or is it cheaper to find a furnished place.
I am really at ground zero here, and need as much information as possible as I want to be as efficient as possible with the financial resources that I have.
A list of appropriate government officials, etc. with e mail addresses if available would be extremely helpful.
Thanks
