Make an impact on the local Dominican Republic communities when you embark on an engaging and immersive cultural experience that introduces you to a recycling micro-business where local women are creating a new industry utilizing recycled goods. Board a motorcoach and travel to the little village of El Javillar, where they have committed to reducing the waste in the province. The RePapel co-op, a Recycled Paper & Crafts initiative, has taught the women to be artisans and produce stationery and gift items made of natural, recycled products. You'll work side by side with these friendly women, discovering all aspects of the program, including creating new products for sale. At the end of your experience, purchase keepsake products to take home as mementos of your day. This tour is produced in partnership with Fathom Travel's cruise with a purpose initiative, offering an incredible opportunity to both enjoy a relaxing vacation experience and give back to the local community.
