Global migration began here with the arrival of the Europeans and the impact has been unarguable. The people of the Dominican Republic have demonstrated the power of their collective will to progress, in their own country and in the world. Just as they have welcomed all-comers, Dominicans understand what the rest of the world can offer them. Expatriate communities thrive, and from across the world send home funds that fuel growth based not on aid or loans, but on diligence and application.
An appetite for growth and improvement characterises the people of the Dominican Republic, and is encouraged by the quality of education provided by its universities and colleges, and by efforts to extend the reach and effectiveness of education throughout the population. A spontaneous and unaffected self-belief runs through life here, informing the smallest act, and dreaming with good reason of a great future very much within reach.
