Description

This will be our second program in the Dominican Republic. In the summer of 2011 students studied appropriate technology and Spanish while working with community members of La Yuca to build a potable rainwater catchment system, a small scale renewable energy system, and an appropriate building . We will be returning to Santo Domingo to continue our learning and collaboration with the community.

This program is open to all skill levels, but does require some ability to do manual work and move around. Expect to work hard, learn a bunch, build lasting projects and friendships.
