It is hard to tell if any active Peace Corps volunteers post on this website. I finished with Peace Corps 20 years ago but stop in the office when I visit the country and have met some volunteers outside the capital on occasion. Especially when I worked for SOLUZ in the late 90's.
After my visit in August I discovered this website Peace Corps Journals - Home and find it more interesting then DR1 (sorry Rob). You can go to the "choose a country" link and see recent posts from the DR or other countries if you like. You can also go the country link on the top of the home page and see all the DR posts.
I tend to not comment much and I a little afraid of telling some of you about the site. I really thought maybe people could help support the volunteers while in the country. They have a very different experience about the DR then most of the posters here. They also have many misconceptions about how things work down there until they are more seasoned. That is mostly the fault of the Peace Corps.
Enjoy and maybe some of you will visit a few volunteers at their site or just buy them a lunch or a dinner.
