Dominicans from all around the island took their gloves off or in some cases, put them on, to participate in community projects as part of Community Day of Service on Tuesday.
The day is usually observed on the 4th of November, the day after Independence.
However it was moved to November 5 since Independence Day, November 3, fell on a Sunday this year.
Since Sunday is itself a holiday, the Independence Day holiday was observed on November 4.
While communities could engage in any project that they chose, the Government provided assistance to urban and village councils and improvement committees to undertake specific projects.
See photos below of some activities on the island.
Photos are from the Kalinago Territory, Warner, Loubiere, Bath Estate, Salisbury, Morne Rachette and Petite Soufriere.
community…meaning the people villagers etc day of service so its fine either way….that the day the community does service..
Well done everyone. I miss those days.
i’ll be in dominica come next year .i promise
very nice. keep up the good work and team spirit. We should all be each others’ keepers
GOD indeed loves Dominica. I pray that we remain a peaceful and loving people..look how we can come together to help our nation. In the country I am right now that cannot happen. you ask people to come out and only 2 people will attend. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK DOMINICA! LOOOOVVVEEE YOUU!
This is one of the best things I’ve seen taking place in Dominica in a longggggggggggggggggg time.
Hey! was skerritt there? And by the way, Venezuella Medical care is in shambles – will skerritt send help to the Venis people?
Well done. But they should not wait until this particular time of year to do this it should be done all year round.
November 4 is a day when Dominicans serve their communities through various projects. It therefore a “Day of Community Service,” not a “Community Day of Service.”
Did not hear or see anything happening in Canefield
there are craters on the road that needs to be block propertly not with tarish……………
I love Community Day of Service. It’s brings me so much pride to come together with family, friends and neighbours to fix and clean up our community and then be able to smile at our work and think, yes! I did that! Perhaps the government should consider having more than one days for this type of self-service rather than have citizens wait for months or years to have a pot hole patched.
Well done to all who took part in community day. It shouldnt just be for one day. We should help out in our communities everyday, even to do a small deed. Keep up the good work!
Man that’s what makes us different from all the islands and nations of the World. Did not had a problem with the beautification of Dominica. But you see the project thing it is the best. Please Mister Prime Minister do not touch our community day of service again. I thank you. Congratulation to all who took part in the building of Dominica today.
I don;t understand why there are so many thumbs down
Very proud…
