This year Lucas Guibbes, an Elementary School located in Miches’ town center, participated in Fundación Tropicalia’s PRyME (School Renovation and Maintenance) program. Together, the education community, FT and Green Love (a recycling company based in Santo Domingo), decided to organize the school’s trash system by building a recycling and waste separation center. Green Love has volunteered it’s time to teach students about environmental awareness and recycling. As a final culmination to this great project, all the students at Lucas Guibbes, along with Fundacion Tropicalia will organize a field trip to the Miches beach, Playa Arriba, to undertake a beach clean-up and recycling initiative.

Fundación Tropicalia Values International Collaboration to Expand Development Opportunities
At Fundación Tropicalia we are convinced there is extensive value in international collaboration to expand development opportunities for the communities we work with, and for this reason, we approached the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to request the assignment of one of their Japanese program volunteers to collaborate with us in Miches (JICA).
Addressing a global issue through a local program: A girls camp in the Dominican Republic
As the summer dwindles down and the kids get ready to go back to school, we say good-bye to another wonderful summer and the successful completion of the “Soy Niña, Soy Importante” (SNSI) or “I’m a Girl, I’m Important” summer camp.
