CSDMicheleDominica’s top artiste, Michele Henderson, will this evening, host an exciting line up of Dominican entertainers in a fundraising concert to help in the fight against the growing problem of child abuse and to enlighten the public as to how Crime Stoppers Dominica can be used to report such crimes.

The concert will be held aboard the Free Winds Cruise Ship from 7.30P.M.

Other performers will include the band Breve, which has been creating some musical waves recently, Jade Leatham, Carlyn Xavier Phillip, Melinda Ulysses, Shalina Samuel, Miriam Alexander and Vynliz Daily. Michele will be accompanied by her band as well as the Free Winds Band.

Proceeds from the concert will go toward CHANCES which currently houses children who have been victims of psychological, physical or sexual abuse and Crime Stoppers Dominica. Crime Stoppers Dominica is a charitable organization, which provides a confidential crime reporting service that gives everyone the opportunity to report crime, including child abuse cases, by calling 1800 8477 or submitting a tip online at crimestoppersdominica.org.

    Michael Henderson can dance very well and her daughter and her daughter best friend

  2. We have found that in many cases children would rather be with their natural parents even when their home life is far from ideal. They do not want to be taken from their parents or out of their home.

    The separating of sibblings is another problem. Brothers and sisters don’t want to be split up.

    Sadly, sometimes the foster homes kids are put in are worse that the homes they are being rescued from,
    and the supervision is poor or non existing. I am only reflecting on what I have seen here in Canada.

    However, some home situations are so abusive the children should definitely be removed. Thank God for
    good foster parents, and I know such here in Canada. Organizations like CHANCES provide a needed refuge where children can find loving care and guidance. People, please support them to the maximum.
    The children are precious. They are the future.

    Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist. (A father and grandfather.)

    Good initiative.

  4. I applaud you guys for that but I feel it would have been more effective if there was a March around the city first, with powerful speakers like Pm Skerrit, Ian Pinard, Re. Peter Augustine, Pas. BJ, Justina Charles, Reggie and others. Maybe we could even take an offering during the march, and then proceed to the concert.

    • One does not have to be a space scientist to read between the lines of your comment. It was meant to demean, and humiliate.

      However, you could be more creative. Take sides in the issue, and offer your argument.

      I suspect you have something to say. :-D

      Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.

    If you are not a herd follower then you get loose. A CHILD DON’T hatched they are born. Must have a father and a mother. If you cannot control your child then he or she is not a child they are adults so they must take responsibilities. They have every right to know who their father is. just drop them and leave them for society. too much fatherless children. Women does not realized how unique they are made instead they just drop everything in the cabbage bin. Yes we are going to save the children if it means taking them away from their guardians or parents. we are going to need your support on this one.

      Ditto…

  7. Child abuse is an evil that must be fought on many fronts with individuals and organizations doing what they can.

    It is encouraging to see an outstanding artist like Michele Henderson spearheading a fundraising concert in support of CHANCES and Crime Stoppers Dominica. Both these organizations are appreciated. Here in Canada Crime Stoppers is a powerful tool in the hands of law enforcement. I was so happy to see it being adopted in Dominica. Use it to the maximum!

    If I was in Dominica I would certainly consider attending this concert.

    Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
