Go Vacation Dominican Republic and Tapitas x Quimio: Supporting plastic cap collection for children with cancer
For the past few years, DERTOUR DMC’s Go Vacation Dominican Republic has been actively supporting the Tapitas x Quimio initiative, which was started by doctors Sonia Dickson, Katherine Candelario, and Lliamel Guzmán to help children with cancer in the Dominican Republic.
The idea is simple: collect millions of caps that would otherwise pollute the land and seas, sell them by weight to local recycling companies (including Skyplast, Plastisam, and Pastoriza Plastics), and donate the proceeds directly to pediatric oncology foundations such as Fundación St. Jude and Fundación Amigos Contra el Cáncer Infantil (FACCI).
