Sign Up for a Free Rotary Sponsored One-Month Trip to Dominican Republic

A Wonderful Opportunity for September 21 to October 21, 2012

Rotary Clubs in New Hampshire and Vermont are sending 1 Rotary Member and 4 team members to Dominica (Dominican Republic) in the Caribbean, at no cost to the participants.  Team members need to between 25 to 40 years old, working or not in their profession for 2 or more years (currently employed or not), and willing to learn about their profession in another country.  We leave September 21, 2012 for a month.  Rotary pays for all airfare.  All participants stay and eat with Dominican Rotary members.  Your costs may be personal incidentals that you may incur on this trip.

Dominica shares an island with Haiti, but is quite different in many respects.  It is a democracy, stable, and comfortable.  The beaches are black (from volcano ash), and the sea is the wonderful is warm aqua blue. In the waters off Dominica, sperm whales come to calve in the fall.  Whale watching is an opportunity, as well as visiting mountain lakes, original Carib Indians, and just sitting watching the seeming impenetrable jungle.  Of course, you will learn another culture and represent the United States.

Applications are due by the end of April.
