Comunidades

Since 2005, the Encuentro students have served a variety of campos throughout the cordillera central mountain range in the Dominican Republic. The service work they engage in with the community is decided by the community in conjunction with the ILAC Center staff and the Encuentro staff.  Since it's inception Encuentro students have assisted communities as they have searched for clean water sources, improved their housing conditions, constructed latrines and laid concrete floors.  Students also assist in daily chores such as caring for small fields or "conucos", helping prepare meals or participating in a small family business.
