On March 29th, volunteers from the Miches community and from afar came together for the 4th edition of “New Face for Miches” (Nueva Cara para Miches) to paint the facades of homes that line the entrance to Miches. Under the direction of partner artists of Artemiches, volunteers receive guidance and paint murals reminiscent of iconic Miches’ landscapes, all in an effort to beautify these homes and come together for a day of work and fun. In total, approximately 30 homes were painted, benefitting a community of about 150 people. Fundación Tropicalia has been supporting Artemiches, a non-profit organization that coordinates activities and projects for the benefit of art and culture in the town of Miches, since 2008.

¡Miches, sí!, a business program oriented to sustainable tourism
As part of our project 'Inclusion of the Micro and Small Enterprise into the Sustainable Tourism Supply Chain in Miches', we have developed ¡Miches, sí! (or “Miches, Yes!”): a business program focused on strengthening local business and supporting new ventures that cater to tourism and agricultural sustainability.
Gallagher: Teaching girls their value
I’m a big fan of giving back and making a difference, especially when it is for children in need. I also believe that making a difference has no boundaries. So sit back and let me take you on a trip to the Dominican Republic. That’s right — the D.R., a place where many residents of our valley head to hit the beach, windsurf, kite surf and let the good times roll.
