Congratulations!!! I do wish that Dominica will one day be able to realize use for all these kids where they can be productive and truly develop the place and themselves financially. Education is an investment in self and serves to add value in building communities. The most frustrating thing is to invest all that time, energy, and sleepless nights and to come home and struggle or forced to go elsewhere. I wish them well.
nice congrats….So what now are they coming back home where no jobs is or they going to over stay there papers in the US…BESIDE they cant legally work in the US.. so what now MR PM
Congratulations to all the young people who have graduated. In a country that has no corporate businesses, too many have graduated with Business degrees. That means that we have trained a cadre of young people that will not be able to gain meaningful employment in Dominica and so will have no alternative but to migrate. Don’t tell me that they should create their own employment because all businesses in Dominica are driven to the ground by unfriendly policies.
Congrats. Job well done. Way to make your families and the country proud. All the beat in all your future endeavors
Congrats to all the graduates with special mention of Edeesha Darwton!! Wishing you much success and blessings
