About Me
- FGCU Dominican Republic Service Learning Project
- For the last eight years, a Group of FGCU students and faculty, founded by Professors Ingrid Martinez-Rico and Craig Heller, have been involved with organizing and accompanying students to Santiago, Dominican Republic, on several service learning projects. Working with a reputable Dominican non-profit organization and a local elementary school, FGCU students have contributed to the crucial work of building safe housing for the poor, teaching environmental awareness to elementary school children, and establishing literacy programs for street children, while experiencing life in a developing nation first-hand.
