The Dominican Republic is the perfect destination for you if you want to volunteer abroad in marine life and in environmental protection. With a coastline of about 1,600 kilometers and offshore islands, marine animals have the ideal environment in the Dominican Republic. Local news outlet El Dia reported, Dominican Republic president Luis Abinader recently cooled relations with China, the large-scale project was struck years ago to strengthen the relations between the Dominican Republic and Asian country.

The civil society-driven Humanitarian Corridors initiative has enabled 54 Syrian refugees to travel to Rome on Friday. This trip marks the end of the second mission of the initiative, which is implemented by different Italian churches.

On Friday (December 18), 54 Syrian refugees arrived at Fiumicino airport outside the Italian capital as part of the Humanitarian Corridors initiative.

Enacted through a protocol from the interior and foreign Italian ministries, Humanitarian Corridors is implemented by the Waldensian Church, the Community of Sant'Egidio and the Federation of Evangelical Churches (FCEI).

The arrivals consist of families who had sought refuge in Lebanon, where they were staying in refugee camps. Among them are single mothers with children and vulnerable youths.

'Sign of hope'

The arrival of Syrians thanks to Humanitarian Corridors is a 'sign of great hope in the International Day of Migrants,' Daniela Pompei, the head of immigration services with the Community of Sant'Egidio, told ANSA on Thursday.

She pointed out that some people who arrived three years ago through other humanitarian corridors were among the Arab interpreters who helped on arrivals. 'This is ... a model for reception and integration that has worked,' she said.

Since 2016, the civil society-driven initiative has brought nearly 2,700 migrants and refugees to Europe, more than 2,200 of those to Italy.

Having been named the 2019 Europe regional winner for UNHCR's Nansen Refugee Award, Humanitarian Corridors Italy is widely considered a success that's already expanded to other EU countries.

The arrival of the 54 Syrian refugees concluded the second mission of the Humanitarian Corridors initiative. Like the first mission, the second mission enabled 1,000 people to go to Italy thanks to the issuing of humanitarian visas.
