The Reality Tour. A Journey to Hispañola. Where History Meets Reality.
The RealityThe tour weaves together a series of themes that exposes issues like race, poverty, labor, trade, and globalization to its participants. For example, participants will visit Alta Gracia, the only fair trade factory in the world. Alta Gracia produces apparel for universities including a line at the OSU Beaver store.

The PeopleThe tour both enlightens and empowers participants through meeting and working with others. We do service learning with the Dream Project, who provide education and mentoring programs that combat the effects of poverty. We visit both rural and urban communities, and meet people of both Haitian and Dominican descent.

The CultureEnjoy the food, the music, the artwork, and the natural landscape. From the capital city of Santo Domingo, to the exotic mountains of Jarabacoa, to the beaches of Sosua. We even spend a day white water rafting on the Yaque del Norte River in some of the most beautiful landscapes you will ever see.
