The President’s Annual Christmas Children’s Party under the distinguished patronage of His Excellency Dr. Nicholas J. O. Liverpool and Mrs. Verna Liverpool will take place on Saturday, December 10, 2011 at the Roosevelt Douglas Primary School in Portsmouth, from 1:30 – 5:00 pm.
The party targets underprivileged children between the ages 5 and 12 years.
Consistent with His Excellency’s plan of hosting a decentralized activity which will eventually reach children throughout Dominica as the geographical locations – and consequently children who would be touched by this Christmas event – are annually alternated, 250 primary school students between the ages of five and 12 from the communities of Glanvillia, Portsmouth, Tan Tan, Toucarie, Savanne Paille, Cottage, Clifton and Capuchin will be entertained.
Last year, 283 children between the ages of four and 12 from two primary schools in the catchment area from Castle Bruce to Petite Soufriere were entertained, and the year before, 239 children in the catchment area from Rosalie to Delices had their turn. In previous years the event has been held at Laplaine, Vieille Case and Wesley, among other locations.
This year’s Party, at the Roosevelt Douglas Primary School in Portsmouth, will be sponsored by the Ross University School of Medicine; the First Caribbean International Bank; the Redemption Tabernacle Pentecostal Church Incorporated based in New Jersey; Josephine Gabriel & Company Limited; Springfield Trading (1959) Limited; and Dominica Brewery & Beverages Limited.
The children will be treated to games, eats, drinks, wonderful gift surprises even as Christmas carols and hymns pervade the atmosphere. Santa Claus (or Father Christmas) will present the children with gifts. The aim of the Christmas Party is to enhance the well-being and joy of our less fortunate junior brothers and sisters especially in this Christmas Season.
Ouch!!!! Do you have A.A. in Dominica? These comments are going to make him drink more.
its the season for brath coshon paffimen and booze.the prez favorite time of year..
These Political appointees are just classless, and clueless…..They are also without shame and devoid of conscience…
What makes you think we haven’t? I have given a party at the beach in Rosalie at Easter. I didn’t ask for donations only that the children help clean up the area before and afterwards. We cooked on an open fire had an Easter egg hunt and enjoyed ourself. And it was nice to see the Kalinago and Grand Fond children enjoying themselves together. {Don’t assume we have no heart it’s heart we have}
All this people that is so opouse of the president keeping a party for this children why they them self come together an do do better some of you have no heart its Christmas.
Those people that like to carry tray of sandwich to their vehicle, the Prez will send you a bill. ammm, how much for a plastic of slice bread? lol…
aaayyye…look kix…anyways anyways…the next time my boy Eddo on a platform…I want him to give a joke on that Carib Beer and Whine!
I opened this thread specifically for the jokes and you people were right on Q. I know everyone would take jab at the president party. Never a dull moment. But parents warn your chirren, don’t make them go home with extra stuff. De president will be watching dem…….lol
sir u can relax as no one will steal your wine and carib beer.u will have all to yourself at this function.
I wonder if the sponsors know that the money could be of much better use to the children of Dominica? After all!
I see absolutely no use for a President in this country. He just sits there occupying space and consuming millions of dollars that could be used in our Education system.
Then every December he throws a little cheap party just to show he attempted to do something for the year.
By the way DNO, the third paragraph that your writer tried to fit into one sentence, it is way too long.
ADMIN: It was a press release, not any of our writers.
LOL Boy one thing Da has jokes oui!
I’m not sending my kid ner? suppose she takes an extra “sangage”… they might have her arrested
Is your kid name Ce..il?
omg, boy you have me passing out. “sanguage”
I AM HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS GIVEN THE SSU SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO LOOK OUT FOR CECIL JOSEPH,
SO THERE WILL BE LOTS OF BEERS AND CHEAP WINE FOR THE KIDDIES
I find it so unfortunate that this President has brought such little respect to the office. This is the first President who people have almost no respect for. Very unfortunate. He should step down.
Sick, sick, sick……..sick
1979 I must agree with you. I think it’s just an easy way to take other peoples money make a little party, keep most of it in his pocket, then send photo’s to make him look like a saint. Why are people generous only at Christmas then they have a screw face for the same children the remainder of the year? No disrespect just curious.
Immortality lives in the deeds of great men, not in their wealth, these jokers will fade from our memory after they die, simply because they have no “greatness” in them. their names will be blotted out from the book of life, because they have not impacted the lives of their people in ANY PROFOUND MANNER…..all their comfort is here on the material earth. when history asks for the names of great men. their names will be nowhere to be found much less to be remembered.
man like Jeff Joe was no saint, but his name will ring immortally!!!!! no one will remember his faults because his greatness in deeds far outweigh his human imperfections. RIP you will always be remembered J! What will you be remembered for Mr. President????? Christmas Party? Beer and Wine???
1979 I concur!! Their names will be in the records but under INFAMY! I have never seen such a worthless lot in leadership in Dominica, and I never want to see that again! Shame! Shame! Shame on all of them, especially those who should know better!
Right on point, my friend 79…They are just worthless Political appointees,shamelessly eating the Taxpayers money….
And as far as that “Wine and Beer” issue, that was classless on all sides…this should never got blown out of proportion like it did…too petty…much too petty indeed….
You take care of yourself my friend.
Peace!.
MR PRESIDENT DONT PLAY BAD FOR NO DAMN DRINKS AGAIN EH. I WAS AT THE LAST EVENT WHEN THAT THING WITH CECIL CAME ABOUT AND THE DRINK WERE NOT BOUGHT WITH UR MONEY. TAXES PAYERS MONEY, THE STATE MONEY THAT CONTRIBUTE THE EATS AND DRINK FOR THE PARTY. SO REMEMBER IS A CHILDREN’S PARTY THAT DERE. DOE COME AND MAKE NO SIN WHEN THEY GOING WITH THERE DOGGY BAG. LOL!!
For men of such caliber, it was shameful to see the mayor on the front page being scandalized for a few bottles of piss, i would have appreciated it if el presidente was noble enough to speak out on more pertinent issues faced by Dominicans. i hope the kids boycott the party!
ADVISORY:kids have loads of fun but steer clear his excellency’s booze!!!
Hope the mayor of Roseau is invited and if he makes the trip to possie, please tell him to live the man beer and wine alone LOL
Is the Mayor invited. If yes, I want to be close to him. (wow)
We hope the children are not going to get the crumb leaves, and there will be no fight over three pints of beer, and a bottle of wine oui!
I hope the Mayer of Roseau does not show up uninvited, with his gun!
Hahahahahahahaha!
Oh, what a thing!
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
Why not host the party at the children ward in the hospital????
THEY DON’T SERVE DRINKS THERE
Yep…so true.
And have some toys for the sick children there….That would have been so appropriate….bringing some joy to those children.
Are these the only events he is good at organising. Never once has he stand for truth and justice in this place. Always a party here and a party there — I hope no one steals his drinks. The man bad by his drinks. Be Aware.
i coming and my eyes will be fixed on the mayor
don t forget to invite the mayor mr president
our mayor is different
Among all those childish cabal Cecil is definitely not getting an invitation may be Tony (DNO there are lots of Tonys)will get an invitation but only if he disguise himself as santa so that he can give back some of the loot to our children.
Cecil you have been naughty so no party for you.
Well I coming too, with my doggy bag. This time I doe want beer and alcohol. I want food to feed my children. I hope they doe call Skerrit on me.
An act of joy and good cheer is brought down by the ignorance of some who desire is to tarnish everything.
It’s Christmas and in most places where it is celebrated parties are held for children who are less fortunate.
Just accept it for what it is, spreading joy, peace and good will. Lighten my brethen
BRO all I am saying is that a powerful man like that has more EFFECTIVE AVENUES TO IMPACT CHANGE IN THE LIVES OF HIS PEOPLE, than this publicity stunt……sorry for being a cynic.
leave the throwing of parties to owners of supermarkets and those with a little less INFLUENCE THAN HE HAS….
when it good I WILL BE FIRST TO SAY IT GOOD!!
I hope if one of these less fortunate children need an MRI at the HOSPITAL they can get it… Dont you think this would be a better gift than a DOGGY BAG coming from a man in such an INFLUENTIAL POSITION, stop accepting HALF A**ness man. especially from people WITH POWER TO IMPLEMENT THE THINGS WE ARE IN DIRE NEED OF.
It have children celebrating christmas in the CHILDRENS WARD…
admin…….should I remain silent? I am only a man, Is all the greatness in the world left for God? like Dr. Tennyson Joseph said, are we bankrupt of truly great men and women???
the Guise of spreading Joy and GOOD WILL Make no good substitution for GENUINE GOOD INTENT AND THE WHAT MAKES A MAN TRULY “HONORABLE”….
ANYTHING ELSE IS A HOLLOW GIFT VOID OF MEANING AND SIGNIFICANCE
What tangible contribution have you to the people of Dominica beside Screaming and article, blog or post on DNO?
Can you organize to you will take the lead and organize a children christmas party so the President will be left to “EFFECTIVE AVENUES TO IMPACT CHANGE IN THE LIVES OF HIS PEOPLE”. I would love to work with you because you seem to have allot of energy
How about that 1979????
In this political environment, u are asking me to stick my neck out for you? Ask urself if what comes out of your mouth is genuine, and u will have the answer why I remain and work in the shadows.. How about you and the prez do a better job at masking the FACT that no matter how we chant “I am dominica” we are really seen as “the dogs in the yard” with no opposable thumbs to help themselves. So we should just be glad that the bone from the christmas ham is flung at our pups in the yard. I hear you loud and clear 1960 I got the message. Are you sincere in wanting to work with me?? Or do u really want to cut of my fingertips and sew my lips together??
So what is your point 1979, if you can’t stick you neck out to make a meaninful contribution why continuously write all this crap on the blog. Are you all talk and no action?
“We are really seen as “dogs in the yard”, I don’t think you should use the word “we” because most Dominicans would classify themselves higher that a dog.
The more you continue to write, your ignorance and rage is exposed for the world to see.
north stop making me your problem?? my only debt is to my children… give me the powers of the president and you will see how much difference I can make. Is not the POWER that makes a great leader, it is the way it is WIELDED which is the true reflection of the fiber of a man….you seem to have gone to school behind the blackboard as u can even understand the simple analogy I made. Do be a tick on somebody else *ick.
im sitting here with my co workers just laughing at this stalemate we have admin.. are you the presidents PRO??? why not post my response to 1960??? sometimes inaction speaks louder than words and actions itself. and this is SCREAMING OUT LOUD….SMH are you people for real???
SCREAM ON MY BROTHER, SCREAM ON
it seems that an honest opinion is not always welcome here on DNO…Is that true???? me and my two other co workers are watching and waiting to see the outcome of my HONEST OPINION.
ADMIN: Dude we are getting tired of your foolishness and your “acting up.” We don’t have someone here 24-7 approving comments. If you cannot wait for your comments to be approved, take them somewhere else. Its simple as that!!!
sorry admin but this wannabe searching for an apology just struck a raw nerve with me…..
I’m Done for the day i’m gonna have a kubuli and a smile. u know u my admin for life you know I wont go anywhere else. where u sending me nuh??? theDominican.net come on man!! I knew u were out….should I email my resume?? I so want to come help you moderate?
1979 garcon nobody taking your rant and rave seriously…you are the jokers here.
Take a chill pill and leave DNO alone.
I bet you if you had to pay for a subscription to DNO you would have bolt already.
take your nonsense elsewhere…go to http://www.pawolpashicoco.com

Who in their right mind will leave Lahaut and go to Roseau for a Party. Read and try understanding what has been written before making silly comments.
stupessss. give us work and pay us fair to make a party for our own damn children. sick and tired of these PRETENDERS… and their fake good will and charity.. all I want for christmas is a STATE OF THE ART HOSPITAL. like ur state of the art house.
I totally agree.
If this was in the HEART OF ROSEAU, I would not send my children to this INSULT!! Show your GOOD WILL to the people by addressing the RELEVANT ISSUES……WE WHO HAVE PRIDE DON’T WANT YOUR CHARITY, WE DOMINICANS WERE ALWAYS A PROUD NATION…..DON’T try to strip us of our Dignity….We poor and hungry, BUT WE ARE PROUD!!!
BLACK LIKE ME, BUT NOT HALF THE MAN I AM!!! WHERE IS YOUR GREATNESS “HONORABLE”????
The priorities of these people are totally mis placed , chinese gift and lil snack , then what? they go home some children may not even have a meal on christmas day When Mr President eating is big ham and turkey. Why not go the commumitites and provide jobs so that the families can be happy throughout the year. Why cant these people think long term? Why cant they ever place themselves in people shoes. We need jobs not superficial parties.
Is me that going to the party……and is me that going to take $25.07 worth of juice and sandwiches for me pickney
I AGREE WITH YOU!! Am I not MY CHILDRENS FATHER??? why another man have to make party for my children??? I WILL ATTEND….If you want a son……let me be your long lost son, I will be there with my santa hat and green stockings a short red pants and a tight white shirt with suspenders LOLOLOLOLOL Me that is the child! oh did i mention my big red empty bag, cuz i wont be leaving with my hands swinging
