Calista Schloessmann, Rustic alumni, shares her Rustic journey and what has led to her continued efforts to help provide safe and dignified housing to families in the Dominican Republic.
Spend a week gaining a new perspective on one of life’s most basic needs – the access to clean water. Travel to a scenic mountain range known as the Dominican Alps and take in the views as you embrace an immersive service experience. Launch into efforts to create aqueducts and other needed infrastructure to provide water to nearby rural communities. Take a break, relax and snorkel at a white sand beach along the coast. Learn about the culture and history of the country as you interact with the community and tour the Colonial Zone in the capital. From beginning to end, this program will give you an unforgettable educational journey with its mix of service, scenery and culture.
The community was super engaged and thankful for the students’ hard work.
