The pallets were received and ported by Beverly Shipping of Portsmouth Dominica.
Boxes contain “School Supplies” in the form of stationery, school bags and notebooks among other items for children whose homes were damaged or destroyed in the 2017 Hurricane Maria that hit the island of Dominica.
The school supplies have been purchased by Halimah’s Helping Hand. LIAT Airlines sponsored the airfare to Dominica for one Halimah’s Helping Hands Executive Board Member to be present for the distribution.
The Muslim Community of Dominica along with Rotaract Dominica will be on hand coordinating the distribution logistics of the supplies to the 17 schools on the island.
Superb. We are really making strides in education, I’m seeing that more and more Dominican children are excelling in all aspects. Your donation will not be in vain Hamilahs Helping Hands.
I pray the children get their supplies especially the bags and so ,I know of some schools that got school supplies for the kids even before Maria and the teachers took for themselves and family and didn’t give to the kids
Thanks to the people of Trinidad and Tobago for their kind gifts to my people.
Now it is the Government of Dominica that have to make sure that these gifts are fairly distributed to every Dick, Tom and Mary without favor.
It was the DLP that started the negativity when they began giving only to people they identified as RED and voting for DLP.
