DNO allu have me crying dere…,missing DA boy.
Missing home. Beautiful photos
wat a shame forty eight people do not like it
Hats of the Ministry of Education officials for a job well done. Preparing for an activity of such magnitude is never an easy task.
I am utterly disappointed that a top performer at CSEC JaRSMINE VIDAL was not awarded for the 10 ones she attained at the examination along with the other three students who achieved this academic milestone.
Beautiful! I am envious that I was not present since I do not reside in DA to participate be it as an onlooker.
Fellow Dominicans, keep up the Dominican spirit. Have fun and safely so.
Thanks to DNO for making it possible that we could view these magnificent pictures of the celebration of our heritage wherever we may reside.
miss home right now
i must say today’s rally was at it’s best.
the drilling was fantastic.big up to the vieille case primary school,the roseau primary and the goodwill primary school. u all made me proud
I have a concern with the National Youth Rally that is not addressed. I believe our youths are being punished by the Ministry of Education on that day as many of them are force to go to school. Is the NYR for adults or is it a day to celebrate our youths and their achievement? Then why were most at the Windor Park to learn from the wise words of the island´s scholar Sydney Jules or from the many admonition from the many guest speaker? We should be in a classroom and not in the park supporting their school? If the ministry wants to keep teachers at school,why don’t they encourage principal to have workshops, seminars, etc during the NYC and don´t use the NYR as a punishment for youths.
HEHEHEHEHEHEHE NEGATIVE RAT STAY SO THATS WHERE U BELONG.
@sanctus…. u are very ignorant and stupid.. from ur comment i can already see tht u are one of tose blinded individuals on the left hand side of this ministry/government… youth rally is for youth… and i am very disappointed in this change of tradition!
What is your problem? There is no punishment. You have to respect yourself and your School and yJues I agree that you come to school to be at the park to support the youth rally or from the tone, you would rather be doing your own thing with no regard for your independence celebration. Why did not want to listen to Sidney Jules or the other speakers – Jealousy or whatever. Sidney is a young Dominican who has done well. What y ou need to do is not waste your time and do well too.
Why in the Classroom and not in the park. We must not be selfish. I am middle aged and we looked forward every year to the rally. What is wrong with you , just one day rally and you complaining. Whatkind of tommorrow leader will y oube.
Move Forward !
castlle bruce secondary u rockes\d on your performance yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
congrats to the students of the Goodwill Secondary School and the 4h club memberS
mr always dre stupes
way to go Vieille Case Primary school. you were the best!!!
bondiay… ophelia dat was in dat last pic nuh? DID NOT recognize her at all! anyhoo, cool pictures, no where I can watch videos?
See how beautiful our children, our youth look. Unfortunately, given all the corrupt practices, allegations of illegal acts by high repute people and irrefutable evidence and facts that have been revealed, the youth will be contaminated by those evil deeds that they are hearing about. especially on hearing that some in our society are the untouchables, who committ all kinds of wrong doings but no justice is done or seem to be done. Who are those role models in authority presently that our youth could emulate? Really look around the Govt. circles and be truthful. Who would pass as a good role model for our youth to follow? if we Dominicans love our children, certainly we must express concerns consistently to right those wrongs that have enveloipped our country.
Hey allegations must be supported by facts and not heresay. Positive Youth as your name profess start today to be positive and do what you have to do for your country and yourself. If you stop to listen to those who delve and thrive on spreading rumours and sowing doom and gloom on our country and persons, you will miss the train and be may back on what you could have achieved. If you listen to negative persons, you will become negative as well. Choose wisely what you listen to in your spare time so that you do not waste precious time. Always seek the Most High before any major decision.
I hope you become the positive youth that you have professed to me.
May God grant you wisdom as you embark on your challenging walk. Seek him at every crossroad and he will see you through.
God Bless.
awesome……………i love it………..lol
Excellent Job to the host and Co host, Especailly Mr. London. handled himself well for his first time.
@ REDZ
Please give Ophelia a break! There are white women/caucasians with black hair. Is something wrong with that??? Why are you making Ophelia’s hair colour an issue??? Please be objective and broad-minded.
Ophelia epitomises versatility and style. She is a true trend-setter. WE LOVE YOU LADY OF SONG – You are Dominica!!! You are a positive patriot!!!! You are our legend!!! You are one of Nature Island’s (Dominica) Ambassador!!
HAPPY 33RD INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY TO ALL PATRIORTIC DOMINICANS…………..RESPECT!!
was she in de line up of the WCMF?
Yeah, Itassi City (Vieille Case) represented for sure. we blew it. no other primart or secondary school could reach near us. if u thought we were the tail, think again.we’re the best, we’re at the top. i could see our PM laughing. PM, we have just started to make u proud. Big up jean Vieille Case
It’s so great to see all these things going
on right now. beautiful love it,
thank you for passing it along to us all that
can’t be there.
Times like that I really miss being home
Thank you DNO for the beautiful photos. I love to see our Dominican people, old and young getting together; this just makes our country stronger. ONE PEOPLE ONE DESTINY for sure. LOVE DA.
wow.. i never knew beyonce was d.a… oh sheesshh that’s ophelia… that blonde style fitting her sexy wii pal… hhmmmppphh is all MOTS saying… b4 i’m hit with infringement of ‘property’ lol
for a cultural icon Ophelia need to potray what she represents and not western culture
our lady of song is getting old… how i miss those ophelia vids.. i’ve searched on youtube and got no vids of ophelia… those classics of back in the days…
Talk to Mark Marie about that, its all about property Rights, life is all about money making, no sort of free entertainment for Dominicans abroad anymore. Guess you guys have to come home and buy a CD or hope a free show pass you by.
your free entertainment is reading the comments on DNO…..
it reminds me of the old days
lovely photos! my beautiful Dominica….look at my p.m. received his trophy with pride and appreciation. as soon as i saw ophelia i started singing aye dominique!!!! Praises to Dominica!!
O sing! sing! sing!
Sing this happy refrain
Our Dominica! Dear Domniuqe! Once again!
It is so touching to see the way our PM receives that trophy from the youth.
Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!
don’t you think he is handing it to her?
He is receiving the trophy. You really missed the ceremony.
Ophelia!! You are a black woman. What on earth are you doing with a blonde wig? Give me a break!!
Would you have said the same if it was Beyonce. Stop hating and celebrate your people! Idiot!
so we don’t have the freedom to choose hair styles any more? Why is Ophelia’s hair an issue pleaseeeeeeeeee…
@ REDZ
You are discriminating. Take a good look at her pigmentaion. Are you color blind? I do
think that the wig compliments the color of her skin. You have a severe problem.
I viewed the pictures and I saw nothing abnormal in her wig. I did not give it a thought. I only viewed the beauty of the beautiful pageant. I noticed that she was singing. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Cease looking for flaws and being negative. Furthermore she has a right to use whatever wig she so wishes and you have no say in that. People like you give Dominicans a bad name. Mind your own business and see about your own business. While you are scrutinizing her hair and/or wig and criticizing her she is enjoying herself and could not care less about you and what you or anyone else thinks.
Looking for the tiniest flaws just to parler and be negative!
You give me a break! Is this what you should be commenting about? If you can say nothing good, then say nothing!
These photos are just incredible!!!!!!!!!
I definetly missed that.
Missing the rough cake and squash!!
How I miss those days…lovely picture, nice to see we still keeping up with whats good in our land.
Beautiful pics. All you thinking DNO have the most servers, all you asking for more pics?!? LOL Bondieu Dominicans not easy.
Lovely photos!! Wish I could have seen it live!!!!!
Who is the lady in the last photo with the blonde hair?
Ophelia Marie
At first I thought it was Hilary Clinton’s sister singing.
This gives me more than a million reason to go back home. The scenes are so so beautiful and the atmosphere appears to be sociable. I miss home, I really do!
oh sh**! ophelia gone blond!
Reminisce of the good old days, my Dominica; I love and miss you.
