Papiro’s story: Service Learning in the DR

Nataly Baez | January 24, 2020

Meet Papiro, a Dominican Republic native and career fisherman. He knows the DR like the back of his hand—an impressive feat considering the ecological change he’s seen throughout his life in the country. That’s why he works with Verde Profundo, an EF Service Learning partner in the Dominican Republic. With them, he helps protect coral reefs and restore mangroves, and shares his knowledge with the world. Watch his story below. EF Service Learning
