The First Entry

Hello, welcome to the first post of my blog in the Dominican Republic.  This blog will describe my experiences, adventures, and every day life in the Dominican Republic for the next year and a half.  A small background, I am a community economic volunteer in the small town of Higuerito, Moca (population 3,500).  It's close to Santiago, in the north central area of the country. My primary project is working with a ceramic artisan association.  My secondary projects include building a community library, teaching English and Business classes, and participating in youth leadership camps.  My aim of this blog, is to share my experiences about working and living in a foreign developing country.  I hope that you aren't completely bored by my life, and I will try to spice it up as much as I can.  So, sit back and relax, grab a cold fruity drink... and enjoy learning about the life of the Poor and Fabulous in the Caribbean.
