    The Olympic Committee is the middleman to getting the resources but they will not collaborate with or guide its membership and stake holders as to how to source the resources. However, one thing is certain. They, the members of the executive, will not miss the continental and international meetings and the Olympic Games for sure. Even if our representation in terms of athletes is below average. Great suggestion Righteous

    I think it would be very nice if the Dominica Olympic Committee were to sponsor this.

      The Dominica Olympic Committee could definitely put that in their annual events with collaboration from the sport division in order to get grants to ensure maximum participation. There is always a way to get this things done, we just have to be creative. It would be great to see the private sector chip in as well. A little goes a long way.
