This is truly a proud accomplishment, Raymond. You will leave behind, a very bold legacy…thanks for serving our culture well. Thanks for all your support and please keep the fire burning.

This was a great initiative. I wish them many many more prosperous years.
That is good. I have a young daughter and I see tremendous opportunities to keep her educated and well rounded right here in Dominica.
Who are the music educators? I would love to register my 11 year old daughter.
