Two members of Portland Rotary, an Audiologist and Speech Language Pathologist, husband and wife team will go to the Dominican Republic in February 2008 to help Dominicans, Haitian migrants and their Dominican-born descendants who work the sugar cane fields surrounding La Romana. These people are confined to villages without electricity or clean water. An estimated 280,000 ethnic Haitians in the The Rotary team will be making their eleventh humanitarian trip to test hearing and bring new and used hearing aids as well as solar battery chargers so even the poorest of the poor will be able to afford to operate their hearing aids.
