DPPA has in the past been fortunate to be served by a couple of great Executive Directors. Over the past 6 weeks or so, I have had the privilege of seeing Mrs. Carbon at work, and based on what I have seen, I feel a sense of great optimism as to the continued evolution of DPPA. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are elated to have Mrs. Natasha Jervier-Carbon serve the Dominican society through the Association.”
But she’s not a nurse, right? What’s her background in the study of Biology and malnutrition? How do you go about Dominica with that “planned parenthood” business? If ever, the program should start at the police stations across the country; and I don’t have to say why because it’s well known that police officers are impregnating women and girls indiscriminately, and most of them don’t even claiming their children. When they say to the pregnant woman, “don’t call my name” they mean that. Therefore, the planned parenthood should start at every police station in Dominica. Ask those police officers wife about that idea. Their uniform gives them the power to seks all the girls in every district in which they serve. I know what I’m talking about and I could call many names. So please, go away with this planned parenthood scheme. She needed a job so she being a square peg was forced into a round hole. Most holes I know of are “Wrong” anyway.
congrats my girl
Big congratulations, cuz. Reach for the stars, your dedication and skills are quite obvious and will go a long way towards positive achievements.
The lady got a job, however, Planned parenthood is redundant and irrelevant at this time. Even our leaders have weighed in on this and advised us to have more children. I would shut down that office and use our health system for health care instead.
Whatever the damage, it has been done. Many billionaires are working hard, with their money against us, to keep your numbers down. It’s called population control. That’s why in the 90s “they” spent $6 billion or more in Africa alone, not for food, but for contraceptives. You get a job with them, but don’t you think today they’d still be at it, and this should be terminated?
It was a populations control thing, not needed anymore since they hit the motherload with the vaccine.
You think ‘they’ joking?
“The lady got a job, however, Planned parenthood is redundant and irrelevant at this time. Even our leaders have weighed in on this and advised us to have more children.” And I guess you actually really and truly thought this idiotic statement through, right? PLANNED parenthood is NOT about not having children, dimwit! It is about planning your family. So, it actually promotes you having as many wardins as you wish as long as you do it in a manner that is sustainable for you and the state; after all, you and I would not want you and your pickneys dem to become a burden to taxpayers. So, resist the urge to throw stones and read and understand stuff before you click.
No need for name calling, but all things being equal, it got a bad rep (like abortion) as a central distribution point for those “billionaires” condoms. Which our health system can handle even better. I know it turned you off when I said “even our leaders have weighed in on this .. ” whoever those leaders are right or wrong, it is what it is old peeper.
Congratulation on your achievement.
