What am I doing?


This January I will have the amazing opportunity to volunteer as an English teacher in the Dominican Republic for roughly 4 months. I am with the International Language Programs (ILP), which is a non-profit organization. By teaching these children english, it will further their education in which they may not have received before, and hopefully open many opportunities and doors from them in their future.

I am excited to experience a different culture, language, and people. I can hardly wait until January to meet my class, as well as the other volunteers I will be traveling with. Wish me luck!
