Dominican Republic Exposure Trip 2008

Got cut off at the end, there was about 2 mins left on it, damn! but anyways..This is a trip that 17 students and 4 teachers from my school went on in January 2008. We travelled to the Dominican Republic to live with the families there in a town called Consuelo. They were so called "middle class." This is a slideshow of our experience there that begins with some scenery of the village and town, then some of the children and families living in the bateyes (where the sugar cane workers live) and some of our own personal pictures.
Enjoy, and hope you get something out of it!

I think you should really differentiate more between the city of consuelo and the bateyes because even though their living conditions aren't as great as ours, the bateyes are really much worse and this makes it seem like the bateyes are a part of the town.

Anyways, I think i've been to alot of the same places that you were at.

The point of the video was not to make a statement that that bateyes and consuelo are the same place, i'm aware of the conditions being much worse in the bateyes, but towards the end is pictures of my group, the homes in consuelo we stayed in & other places we visited in Santo Domingo. All this video is is a montage of pictures from a great trip, & gives pple a visual of whats going on bcuz most stay in resorts when they go and don't see the other side of things

@amerisier you wright my brother! these bitch dominicans are shameless,i live in spain all they do here is kissing white people asses.they think that they are better than the whole world.they all have mental problem,stupid motherfuckers,most of them are iilitarated.and self haters.running after white people like dogs.god bless haiti stay black and strong,no matter what.black for life.pride.

I get so upset at these Dominican trying to seperate themselves as if they are so much better than us Haitians. its as if these people dont even know their history. One day, haiti will be back on its feet. The DR has no history compare to haiti. Dont you forget that it is because of us Haitian that you even have a country. One day, Haiti will rise.....Domicans are a bunch of wanna be whites

Oh great this is what the tourist take back home that we are all Haitians. This is why we need to deport the 4 million plus haitians back to their country. Soon they will claim DR as an extension to their country.

@clockworkorange1986 I so agree with you :)

[mastervictor123]

@TheMrElambia I Disagree with you.. D.R an Haiti are two Different places.. Dominican Republic is a poor country but not so poor as you think.

[kryptonitex2]

your the same people to whites...its funny to listen to you try to seperate yourself from Hiti.

i went there!

[hubergeek]

There should be more of DR than this, why would you want people think the other side of the resort in like this?

There are many cities and many nice places in the DR, you didn't had to show like RD equals a bunch of huts with ground floor and not electricity like in COngo or something, I really can't make sence of your video other than to damage the image of the country.

yes we are in 2010,and if you and your ideas stay like that,you will be then in 1910 and not 2010.

Wake up man,everythingcan be posible.bye bye Amigo....you are a negative energy for your island La Espa~ola,with people so weak like you nobody can go ahead.bye
