Apart from business, Iguana Mama keeps an strong involvement with Local Community Development, specially in projects aiming the improvement of education in rural areas and the protection of the environment.

We are particularly proud of our support to DREAM project (Dominican Republic Education and Mentoring Project). This project was started in 1999 by Iguana Mama Founder, Tricia Thorndike.

The DREAM Project is a 501c3 nonprofit organization committed to improving needed educational opportunities for children in rural areas and small communities of the North Coast and North Slope of the Cordillera Central in the Dominican Republic. DREAM provides funds, supplies and arrange for volunteers to build necessary support facilities such as libraries, additional classrooms, and toilets. DREAM also places volunteers in schools and libraries to teach reading, writing, math and English skills to children born into poverty.

Iguana Mama is founding partner of DREAM and continues supporting this project.

Iguana Mama is happy to disperse all donations, clothes, books, food to different schools to DREAM Project. Please contact Tricia directly at DREAM Project for more information regarding how you can help.
