Over US$3,000 worth of gifts has been given to children in Dominica by the Florida Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) in an effort to bring them early Christmas cheer.
The presents, which were given to 137 children 12 years and under, included dolls, trucks, and other children’s games.
The gifts were presented to the children at a ceremony on Monday morning at the Public Service Union building.
Slavojub Popovic, crew coordinator of Emerald Princess, told DNO that the smiles on the faces of the children gives the motivation to return every year.
“We are motivated when we see the smiles on the children’s faces … we do this every year in Bonaire, Grenada, Dominica and Bahamas; we are very happy to see that they are happy,” he said.
He said the FCCA has been bringing Christmas cheer to Caribbean children for over ten years now.
Monday’s event was organized by the Discover Dominica Authority and the FCCA in conjunction with Springfield Trading, Fine Foods Inc, Hara Agencies, Combine Taxi Association, Events and Things, Josephine Gabriel and Co. Ltd.

i know allu cannot stay away from the nice time but do some research, doh drag allu children down that road
Don’t you all know when they talk about Dominica they are referring to Roseau. When anyone talk about Dominica in any category they only talk about Roseau. Roseau is Dominica.
We need to inform the children about the truth and stop misleading them with myths.
So what about the children in the North & North East of the island. A Toy Drive needs to be done for the less fortunate kids. Are the churches doing anything in their communities for the children??
and toys u want to give them?
wat kinda development that?
Yes and the children in the NNW NNE ENE WNW NWN SW SSW SWW and in the center and in the middle…. what about the children on the whole island eh? what about… -______________-
ROSEAU CHILDREN ALONE THAT IS DOMINICAN KIDS. IS ALL GOOD
Here we go again with the typical Dominican ignorance. We should add that as one of our national elements. National bird = ‘Sisserou’, National problem = ‘Jealousy’
