The Dominican Republic (also referred to as the DR) is a very poor country located between Cuba and Puerto Rico.  It shares an island with the country of Haiti, which is a very poor country also.  The DR consists of a Spanish speaking country which claims to be dominantly Catholic although many missionaries are there building protestant churches. 
There is a lot of work to be done there, as there are water, electric, and many other issues.
