Meaning we want to teach the kids how to use biogas wind power water power solar power etc. So yah the thought is nice... but the action is not what we were expecting. There is A LOT of work to be done. We hit our first major road block when we got here and found a little school that we started helping out. We thought hey yah this is awe http://www.travelblog.org//Central-America-Caribbean/Dominican-Republic/Rio-San-Juan/blog-277946.html I first came to the Dominican Republic when I was I think 11 years old. My family from Denmark and from other places all came for Christmas. But instead of getting presents we decided to give them. We collected all of our old give aways and we hauled them down here and we gave them to an orphanage. It was then that I realized that there were people less fortunate than me and sense then...

We liked Santiago with its big city allure and then not a kind of big little city feel. The intention was to spend a few hours at Sosua and then guagua to Rio San Juan. When we disembarked after two hours we were met by a taxi driver who attempted to hussle us away from Sosua and on to the touristyareas of Puerto Plata and Cabarete.
