Armed with shovels, cutlasses, spades and rakes, the residents of Kings Hill/Morne Bruce embraced the natural elements and took part in a “Clean Up and Beautification” program on Friday 4th November, 2011.
The Ministries of Tourism and Legal Affairs and the Ministry of Agriculture & Forestry Division embarked on a collaborative effort with the Kings Hill Development Committee and the Kings Hill Youth for Change Revived to help keep the community beautiful and environmentally friendly.
The program involved painting of galvanize fencing, clearing of shrubs, clearing of drains, picking-up garbage, and tree planting in the community.
The Morne Bruce area was the high-light of the beautification activity. Visitors will get a better picture of the unique attributes of this community. And the residents will be motivated to preserve and protect the environment.
The “Clean Up and Beautification” effort was properly executed by the residents of Kings Hill and Morne Bruce with support from the Ministries of Tourism and Agriculture & Forestry. The Ministry of Tourism will continue the drive to enhance and beautify the Morne Bruce area to ensure a quality of life that is enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
It doesn’t seem like they felt the need to butify inside Kings hill also…i guess they only want to impress the Tourist
It’s always said that unity is strength and strength is power, though i agree i have come to the conclusion that it’s not so for black people. I being black myself feel ashame that i have to conclude this way but i find we do better as a “one man show”. If you look at this seriously you will notice that once we black join to do anything it fails but does so well when is one alone doing it. Slavery may have affected us pretty bad because we follow the white man so very well. The only reason why Dominica and all other black controled countries doing badly is simply because not enough white or another race influence. Dominica’s problems is not Skerrit or labour nor was it UWP or any past government although i would agree that the odds are against us since we are black controlled country from the bigger white nations. I am not saying this here to bring us down but rather that we start thinking about this seriously so if at all we are to think of mooving forward atleast we would be mindful of the problem. As is said in other for you to change you must first accept that you have a problem.
I like that, more trees, less concrete. Clean and green….the way to go…
this shouldn’t be a one day thing it should be a weekly thing to keep it looking nice…
It WILL be an all day every day project because the flowers are to be maintained.
This woman look well thck. Da have some Mampee eh Andrew ?Just like in ah JA.
out of all the things to comment on thats the best thing u could up with ?
I have been suggesting this for along time every village should participate in the program , the churhes should encourage the village cleaning progam also, and dominica would be a more beutifull place for all.
A show OF National Pride…priceless!!!
