About the Organization

The Building Homes Building Hope program was started by Lynne Moquete, a former Peace Corps Volunteer who served in the Dominican Republic. Moquete has a Master’s Degree in Public Health and is a high school teacher in Petaluma, California. Since the program began in 1996, hundreds of youth and adults have spent time living and working in the Dominican Republic near the Haitian border. More than 100 families have been assisted, with American volunteers working with local residents to construct homes, kitchens, and latrines. They’ve also put on new roofs, installed floors, and painted buildings. As part of the trip, participants have worked in schools, hospitals and orphanages.

About the Opportunity

Building Homes Building Hope is looking for a professional photographer to help capture images to use in the relaunch and redesign of our website. We are looking for a photographer to travel to La Descubierta, a small town twenty minutes from the Haitian border and five hours by bus from Santo Domingo. You will be able to meet and interact within the vibrant community of La Descubierta. We hope to make a visit happen within the next six weeks.
