PACK for a PURPOSE Give Back Opportunity
Small Space. Little Effort. Big Impact.
Travelers packing for the Dominican Republic can make a difference in the community by bringing donations to one of many charity groups or non-profit organizations in the Caribbean.
Voluntourists in the Dominican Republic can help communities in need by giving to education non-profit groups in the area. Visitors can donate school supplies including notebooks, storybooks, writing utensils, and educational posters. Visitors interested in responsible tourism and helping wellness service projects can donate to the Veron Clinic. This clinic works to improve the health conditions of under-served people in the surrounding area. They accept medical donations, including surgical thread, latex gloves, bandages, and over-the-counter painkillers.
Your teachers for the this incredible week @saraclarefitness and @jeanette.anne are honoured and committed to making this experience a remarkable one for you, and we can not wait to see you here!
