My Mission Trip to the Dominican Republic

When the sun hits the skin it is a hot and hot day. A lush palm tree gave me a shade when I sat and saw the surroundings. Children who were dirty with bare feet laughed and played with uneven dirty clothes. When I saw them, their cheerful laughter smiled on my face and warmed my heart. It is my first visit to the Dominican Republic this time that I am traveling alone, apart from my parents. This is also my first mission trip, I like every minute of it. When I sat down and looked around the village slums and huts, I saw people are very kind.

The Dominican (Spanish: Dominicon) is a people with ethnic relations with the Dominican Republic. Dominica was historically the captain of the captain of General Santo Domingo and has been retained even after the independence of the country. Most Dominican people live in the Dominican Republic, but there are also big Dominican people mainly in America and Spain. The National Bureau of Statistics of the Dominican Republic estimates that the population of the Dominican Republic in 2016 was 10.2 million people

The fact of the Dominican Republic reveals interesting information about the islands where the Dominican Republic is located. Ispaniola is the second largest Caribbean island after Cuba, with two countries, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. However, the area of ​​Haiti is half of the Dominican Republic, the Dominican Republic is the second largest in the Caribbean (18,700 square miles), crosses Cuba and occupies an area of ​​42,000 square miles. Various small islands near the main island, such as Saona and Beata, are also part of the Dominican Republic.

The fact of the Dominican Republic shows that the Dominican Republic has the ninth largest economy in Latin America and the largest economy in the Caribbean and Central America. The Dominican Republic was known for agriculture and mining, but the service industry is now a major part of the economy. The economic progress of this small country in the Caribbean is largely due to its advanced telecommunications system and excellent transportation infrastructure, but there are still many problems that impede that economy, high unemployment, corruption and power problems.
