The Dominica Electricity Services Limited (DOMLEC) has made a collective donation of $43,000 dollars to five organizations that have long-standing relations with the company.
On Friday, June 16th, 2017 at the DOMLEC main office, the individual cheques were presented to Crime Stoppers Dominica, Dominica Association of Persons with Disabilities, the Education Trust Fund, Trafalgar Football Organizing Committee, and the Dominica Football Association.
Acting General Manager of DOMLEC, Lemuel Lavinier, said that this annual donation to these organizations is a continuation of donations made to various groups totaling $137,000 from the beginning of the year up until May.
“Today we are distributing a total of forty-three thousand dollars, as at the end of May the company has donated one hundred a thirty-seven thousand dollars to various groups, organizations and individuals mainly in the areas of health, education and community development,” he said.
He described the DAPD as a “true advocate” for persons with disabilities in Dominica.
“We, as a company, will continue to support its efforts and program set out for every event,” he remarked.
All receiving organizations shared deep gratitude towards DOMLEC for their annual contributions.
Nathalie Murphy, who is the Executive Director of DAPD, expressed her thanks to the company.
“The pleasure is mine to accept the donation on behalf of the Dominica Association of Persons with Disabilities and we extend heartfelt thanks to DOMLEC for their continuous support to our organization…DOMLEC has been a partner of DAPD for a number of years. We are happy for this and we just want to say thank you for being a very good cooperate citizen,” Murphy remarked.
DOMLEC has been in partnership with these individual organizations for more than two years respectively, and as stated by Lavinier, is committed to providing continuous support.
Our towns and villages are so dark due to Domlec’s high rates. But what’s worse is that businesses bo not move any aspects of their operations here because electricity is too expensive for them in Dominica. My friend runs a repackaging firm worth millions and would like to do some of its operations in D’a but fears Domlec’s high electricity rates, kills business ideas.
Good Corporate Citizen, DOMLEC. It’s great to see that community involvement. Ag GM Mr. Lavinier may Yahweh continue to be with you.
Guidance my brother.
Much more can be achieved by lowering their rates so that they can afford to leave at least one light on outside their homes for safety and security. Shameful.
Thanks DOMLEC for the donation But one question, why is everybody so sad in the pictures – I mean every picture is sad even the representative of DOMLEC is sad. No big bright happy smiles – WHAT A TING!
