Six primary schools will participate in the Primary Schools Bin Painting Competition, one of the activities organized for Tourism Awareness Month 2011.

Seems like 2nd and 3rd prize winners will have more fun than 1st prize winners. Just saying…. these are primary school students
It would be very interesting to find out why only a few selected schools were asked to paricipate in such event.
This is all good but lets give credit to the members of S.O.U.L from Wesley who started painting bins for garbage collection during the Wesley Radical Jam For Peace. Driving through the Village of Wesley you will notice bins painted in pink. Great follow-up by Dominica Waste Management. But please give the codoos to S.O.U.L Crew.
