An Invitation to join us - February 7-10, 2012

Santo Domingo (PCDR) – In July of 1962, 22 young Americans ventured off an airplane and onto a little-known Caribbean island, ready for an aventura and unaware of the thousands who would follow in their footsteps. With few resources and a heap of determination, these initial Peace Corps Volunteers started a tradition of community service in partnership with the people of the Dominican Republic that continues today, half a century later.

                    Consider this!
