Girls Orphanage In Puerto Plata

[Trupti]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find the address of a girls orphanage in Puerto Plata. It's run by Sister Maria (or it was when I was there in 2007) and it's a small place, with heavy gates at the entrance. It's located on a rough hilly road, towards the middle or top of the street.

I'm travelling back to Puerto Plata and have plans to drop a few things off for the girls but I'd like to have an address in my hands before I go, instead of wasting taxi dollars in trying to locate this place.

Thanks in advance

i think i know the orphanage you're talking about - does it also have some sort of school associated with it? and across the street from a sports complex (mostly baseball and soccer fields?) if it is that one, let me know and i can get you the address.

Hi there

No, that's not the one. The place you've described actually sounds like a location across from the Casa Marina Beach & Reef Resort in Sosua

Alberga de Martina near the prison, on the same street not quite as far up as the prison. The street is not in too bad a shape but it is on a hill.
or....
Luisa Ortea facility in front of the sports facility (polideportiva) in POP on Ave. Luis Ginebra.

I think it has to be Albergue de Martina because Luisa Ortea is on the main road (no hill & a good road). Trupti, does it look like this?

In which case tell your taxi driver to follow tflea's directions for the prison (Fortaleza).

I thought of that before but didn't post because to me that's quite a good road so.................just shows you we all define 'rough' differently.
