My Dominican Republic Story
I spent three months a few summers ago studying and working in the Dominican Republic with Goshen College's Study Service Term (SST) program. For the first 6 weeks, I lived with a family in a neighborhood called Las Caobas on the Western edge of the Capital, Santo Domingo. The second 6 weeks I lived in a village in the south western part of the island called Barahona. While I was in Barahona, I volunteered with Habitat for Humanity building houses for poorer people. I also got to experience the beaches near Barahona and am convinced that these are the best beaches in the world. The king of the beaches near Barahona, of course, is San Rafael. Most of the beaches in this area are not "touristy" which made me appreciate them even more. I fell in love with this country, so I decided to set up a page just for the D.R.I know that this page is only links, but there is so much good stuff out there already on the D.R. that I couldn't do it justice to try to make a "better" page. The best I can do is supply a place where you can get all the great pages at one place! I hope you find it helpful!

DISCLAIMER: I recently graduated from Goshen College, and with this meaningless, yet necessary ceremony, I technically closed the book on my Goshen College career. This closing, will also, inevitably bring to a close the existance of the homepage which you are reading. So, just think... you could be the last lucky person to read this fine piece of WWW material!
