YES! That is correct! I will be in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic this coming summer. I will be interning with the House of Representatives, and you have no idea how EX-FREAKIN-CITED I am. Myself and 2 other ladies from my law school will be going, and from what we have learned... This is going to be an awesome experience.
My friend J (love to refer to her as Juicy!) found this awesome program called Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (GFDD). They offer students to ability to intern, research, and study in the Dominican Republic. This is a Foundation that was started by the current President of the DR, Dr. Leonel Fernandez. As per the website, GFDD promotes a better understanding and appreciation of the Dominican culture, values and heritage, as its richness and diversity, in the Dominican Republic, US and worldwide.
That is all fine and good, because I believe the educational and work experience of this trip is going to be invaluable... HOWEVER, I am going to the Dominican Republic!!!
Well I leave June 2nd and come back August 12th.... Counting down!
If anyone has any suggestions on places to go and things to do while there... please feel free to make your suggestions!
