My internship in the NGO Foundation Taigüey (Anna Maria is gone!)
April 13, 2008
On October 13, 2007 I came to the swamp to make a six-month internship in the NGO Foundation Taigüey. We had a great time. During these months working with my colleagues to Transagro and ecotourism projects and look at the results ... I can almost Transagro Coodeci of a cooperative appointed and Ecotourism project has started training people in the Swamp and Bahoruco!
I am very proud to have been part of this team in the NGO and have lived in La Cienega and known the people so friendly. And six months have passed quickly and I'm back to Holland and looking back I see my internship at The Swamp as an experience never to forget ever.
Also sometimes I have to give me a pinch on the arm to realize that everything has been real and not a dream. However, the village life has not always been easy for me, as in the first months had to get accustomed to local life, but once I discovered more or less accustomed to life in the Dominican Republic is beautiful: the beautiful people and friendly with its customs and lovely nature (especially around La Cienega!).
Anyway, do an internship at The Swamp has been a great enrichment for me, I learned a lot about the culture and people. I hope that the projects are successful and improve the lives of cienagueros / as.
In closing I want to thank the coordinators Yacine and Vicky for giving me the opportunity to intern and to thank my colleagues from both the foundation as Guanaba.Net. Thank you very much for everything. Good luck in all things that are on the way and I hope to see you soon.
Hugs Ana Maria
