Hi

I'm looking for information about loving and working in or around Jimani DR (border Town). I'm interested in living and working in that area so I can further gain fluency in Spanish Haitian Creole, I'd like to become a Medical Interpreter, and able to go to Menelas Haiti regularly to work with a volunteer organization. If anyone has any opinions, knowledge etc about the area, safety, transportation, schools, places to live, etc. I'll be certified to teach English as a second language.

Any special reason for wanting to go to Jimani? My impression of Jimani when visited there a couple of years ago was that it is very isolated, not very big and generally an uninviting place to live. It's mostly a place where cross-border trading goes on with all kinds of merchandise is transferred from Dominican trailer trucks to Haitian trucks. I also visited Pedernales, which is south of Jimani right on the border and near the sea. It seemed to me to be a much more comfortable place to live and work. Whatever you do, good luck to you in your humanitarian efforts. They are certainly needed.

Thanks! I don't much about the DR but I was looking in that area because it seems to be the closest to the Haiti-DR border while also being closest to the town in Haiti where I'd be volunteering. I'll check out Pedernales. Thanks!! :)
