    Way to go DHA! It looks like this organization has withstood the test of time. Had the opportunity to attend some of their activities in the past and I have to say despite the challenges of keeping our people united they have kept the faith. May god continue to bless you all and please continue in your unwavering effort to unite the “splinter” Dominican groups in your area who still insist on doing their own thing for whatever reason. UNITED we all must stand.

    Yes I say that because I was well informed by certain members the attempt by the current DLP Cabalists here at home to infiltrate your organization through some of their operatives. Please DO NOT LET IT HAPPEN.

    Thanks again for helping our students.

    Assertive like the rod of Moses! :twisted:
