For those social media and Internet addicts, this trip might be a welcomed (or not so welcomed!) break from your favorite sites. Internet access will not be available on site, but free WiFi is provided at the hotel.

We wanted to put together some tips and tricks for you to help you utilize social media in the best way possible and showcase the work that you are doing with Cambiando Vidas.

1. Check in: Upload a photo from your first day on the site. These are a great way for you and your fellow volunteers to look back on at the end of the week and see how far you’ve come.
2. Tag your photos: Use the Cambiando Vidas hashtag: #cambiandovidasDR.  Be sure to tell your friends and family back home to follow the hashtags and see what you have been taking part in.
3. Follow Cambiando Vidas: If you have not followed our social media accounts prior to your trip, follow us so you can post and be apart of our growing community.
4. Follow your fellow Volunteers: Connect with each other! You can share photos and videos online from your time together and spread the word of Cambiando Vidas.
5. Share from home: After the trip be sure to upload your photos to our Facebook group! Share your experience with us and your loved ones online.
