I believe that for too long our people have believed that our culture only consists of Merengue, and Sugar Cane derivatives such as Rum. There are plenty of other things that make our culture, like our rich history, our cuisine, our close-knit family traditions, our respect for our fellow man-our brethren. It's great that more access to computers and books is provided for our future generations; Remember when the foreign occupiers burned our books, and closed our schools. What was achieved by these invaders is still affecting us today; A lack of knowledge of our true identity, and noble past. Props to J. R. Vargas of Indotel. Dios, Patria, y Libertad--------y aun mas educacion.
