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.

A Kick Start Meeting for the Inclusion of Micro and Small Enterprises in the Sustainable Tourism Value Chain in Miches
The month of August has proven to be quite monumental for the BID/FOMIN project, the 36-month development project which will organically certify 300-500 agricultural producers and will establish 5-10 micro and small businesses (MSEs) to supply goods and services to Tropicalia and other anchor companies, as we officially kick off the project.
Sustainable tourism to empower communities
"To face the future, in regards to the ocean and as well as around the world, we must aim for sustainable development. Responsible tourism helps empower local communities by creating shared value".
