Our community service projects would not be possible without the patrons who attend our annual fundraiser at Carnival time – Souse ‘n Punch.

Also, we could not have done it without the assistance of corporate sponsors. We extend our gratitude to our gold sponsors: National Co-operative Credit Union and the Insurance Company of the West Indies (ICWI), silver sponsors: Central Co-operative Credit Union and our Bronze sponsors National Bank of Dominica and the Dominica Broadcasting Corporation (DBS Radio – who carried the competition live).
