Malik Darroux and Camerahn George of the St Mary’s Academy (SMA) will travel as junior chefs, while Zahrek Gonzalez- Pelitier and Tyreese Francis, also of the SMA, will travel as assistant chefs.
“Last week the students and teachers of the SMA had a fundraising activity where students sold their recipe books outside the Jays Bookstore to raise monies to assist in their travel to Barbados,” Local 4H Leader Bert Paul told Dominica News Online on Tuesday.
Paul said the students will be accompanied by him and a teacher, Ruth Paul.
The group is expected to leave Dominica for Barbados on August 14, 2016.
SMA received the winning title at a competition held at the Dominica Grammar School (DGS) on April 23rd, 2016.
Last year, senior 4-H representatives Lizanne and Leticia Roach, students of the Pierre Charles Secondary School (PCSS), represented the Dominica Youth Business Trust (DYBT) at the Caribbean Junior Culinary Conference and Challenge and received a silver award.
