    Looking at all those beautiful photographs bring warmth to my heart. I am very happy to see that we are passing our culture and tradition to our young.

    DNO, I don’t take for granted how important you have become in the exposure that you give to Dominica. You keep us connected no matter how far we may travel…What you give us is so vivid, when I am not there, I still feel like I am in the middle of it all.
