In efforts to create environmental awareness and good practices, Fundación Tropicalia hosted a workshop in observance of environmental norms for Tropicalia beach employees. Cesareo Ciprian led the workshop through a discussion on basic recycling concepts, along with a presentation on the local flora, fauna and ecosystem. The second portion of the workshop included a walk along the coastline as a hands-on exercise in how to maintain the coast a clean and an environmentally friendly place.

The Condition of Girls in the Dominican Republic
Did you know the Dominican Republic is the 5th country in Latin America and the Caribbean with the highest teen pregnancy rate? And did you know 44% of teenage school dropouts are a result of early pregnancy? In 2016, more than 790,000 (37%) of Dominican girls were married before reaching the age of 18.
Gallagher: Teaching girls their value
I’m a big fan of giving back and making a difference, especially when it is for children in need. I also believe that making a difference has no boundaries. So sit back and let me take you on a trip to the Dominican Republic. That’s right — the D.R., a place where many residents of our valley head to hit the beach, windsurf, kite surf and let the good times roll.
