Dominicans studying at the Wuhan University in China have participated in the 8th Wuhan Luojia International Cultural Festival which was held under the theme “Diversity and Harmony: Interaction and Integration.”
The exposition is held annually for international students to explore, expose and let the wider university community know about the differences in the culture of various countries.
Speaking for the Dominican students at the institution, Cassius Darroux, said the island was presented at the event as a “God-blessed nature isle with prestigious eco-friendly sightseeing places to harness the best of what nature has to offer in terms of wellness.”
“We had the opportunity to showcase our culture with the little resources that we had,” he told Dominica News Online.
Darroux said various companies in Dominica were approached for support by donating local products but all pleas fell on deaf ears. “Since it’s an annual event we are kindly asking the Dominican corporate community to come forward to help us as students to promote our country to the rest of the world,” he said.
Darroux noted that the Dominican students are looking forward to next year’s event since a solid foundation had been set and there is now a demand for products from two well-known Dominican business places in the city of Wuhan. “We will withhold the names (of the business places) because they did not even acknowledge our call for the promotion of their product for which there is a viable market,” he pointed out.
He has made an appeal to Dominican companies to contribute to next year’s festival since, according to him, there is a market for Dominican products in China.
Any company interested should email Darroux at [email protected]

做好学生……
can’t believe it. wow . i know this guy at college. very intelligent
wow! can’t believe it. he
Darroux, you are being unreasonably petty about withholding the local companies to those interested Chinese business man. You would be doing the local economy a service by helping bring two or more foreign business together – your attitude is killing potential foreign investment- which is sorely needed on the local business scene. It is themed interaction and integration
Typical Dominican tit-for-tat attitude.
Dude, move away from that small-island, 3rd-world mentality, take the higher road, and in spite of their (sic) ignoring your call for some local art and crafts contribution, show the younger Dominicans that traveling so far to pursue higher education is really a life changing experience.
Yes you are right but do you think when you put all your effort to get things done with the little resources that you receive from students contribution its reasonable to just give it away to those company who don’t care about wether they servive or not? would you spend money for promoting your country and at the end of the day for a private company to benefit? You should be the one standing for almost 9 hours without any pay here to represent Dominica in a weather of 4degrees celcius representing. think of it my friend. Yes i am petty but with reason
Darroux did damned well not giving the names of the businesses the plights of us students every year are falling on death ears. its only when they see pictures they remember they have students here in China for studies. Job well done guys: props to korlita,Hilbert, Kerry, Desrianne,Shakimar not forgetting Mr. Darroux
I’ve known Mr Darroux for a while. he should come to SDA to teach. smart guy
hmmmm those there training to help with the assimilation wi…..
my mouth is mine. who vex loss!
but on another note. Keep working hard guys and never forget where you came from.. though globalization does not leave much for nationalism, don’t forget your roots.
best of luck
you sound like a politician.
well done Mr. Darroux. where is he from?
I might be wrong but i think his name is spelt as Casius Darroux and not Cassius. He I beleive is from Saly Bia in the Kalinago Territory. Knowing him i think he might well be in the making of the best political person for the Kalinago territory. Keep out the good job guys and good luck in your studies
Mr. Darroux
you sound like a politician. well done Me. Darroux
congrats guys, keep up the fine work..
all dominicans can do is go beg skeritt for money they asked for market and promotions for thier products yet your plea fell on death ears im glad you did not mention the names of the buisness places in china
Hmm…is someone missing the point here? The business places are in Dominica..they were asked to support the show but they didn’t…..now their product is a hot item in Wuhan. These are not business places in China….geez, read ppl, read.
不冷吗？in that pretty outfit, anyways keep up the good work promoting DA.
apparently she wasn’t! cause i know it is very 冷
Keep up the good work guys. Hope the Companies in question will do something and others will come abord to help promote D’a. Looking good Donna.
nice!!! really nice.. keep it up guys
Nice work promoting DA…but pls pls pls get a “true” Dominican Flag nex year….ask the Ministry of Community Development to send u all a flag…the one u hve is not a true representation of the Dominican flag – our parrot does not hv green feathers on its breast! And while re at it, please do not encourage the production of those flags by buying them…let the Chines know that this is not ur flag!
Nicely put, but bear in mind, when you go to purchase one from the ministry, you get the same CRAP flag.
yes Mr Darroux well said…couldn’t have said it better myself.
