DR0756
Bateyes/Ghettos/barrios bajos/Slums
usually wooden shacks and
shanti towns filled with Haitian refugees.
I have known the DR probably better than most Dominicans for 43 years.
I lived there 4 years while in Medical School and have travelled through almost every corner and know it very very well.
I did help build a hospital with the ex GOV of NJ
many years back
in a town called PARAISO ( paradise )
where there are no doctors
nurses or anyone medically trained.
Corruption and indifference closed it a few years after it was built.
I have not been back so i do not know what transpired.
