OK all. I have a son who's currently 19 and going through that time in his life where he doesn't really know what he wants to do with his life. He's currently enrolled in a community college taking some generic classes that he can then transfer to whatever college he ends up going to.
Anyhow he's about to finish this semester and be pretty much free for the summer. I don't want him just hanging around his friends here in The US just doing nothing, so I would like to find something for him to do for the summer where he can get some kind of benefit (tangible or intangible).
He's a typical US grown kid (spoiled rotten) - I know that's my fault, but he can be pretty adaptable.
He's been to The DR many times and most of my family lives there - He even spent a summer down there a few years ago - but he doesn't speak fluent Spanish (He understands a lot though).
So I need ideas from the forum on what he can do this summer. Maybe any programs where he could volunteer, internship, learn Spanish, whatever...I just need to pick your brain. Whatever it is doesn't have to necessarily be based in The DR. Any and all ideas are welcome.
