    That is a very unselfish eneavour. I know that somone asked about the other districts in Dominica but that’s jusdt one organization in St. Thomas.

    Hopefully there will be more organizations in the diaspora that will rise up to such an accasion as well.

    Keep up the good work.

      This type of comment is uncalled for. While we appreciate the efforts of the diaspora to help the needy back home, we do not have to assassinate the character of our health workers for a few hotel recycled bed sheets and bath towels.

      On the other hand, it shows how “trustworthy” you are. You “KNOW” of stealing in the hospital, of all places, and you never reported it. Why? This tells us what kind of person you are.

      And in response to betty j; should we give 2 bed sheets and 2 bath towels to every village in Dominica to have a sense of fairness? What would be the impact?

      Good job by these concerned Dominicans soliciting on behalf of the needy. I do not want to minimize your efforts by pointing to the fact that these are recycled. I know Westin Resorts are part of a 5 star chain of hotels and that these stuffs are good quality. But I cannot let the comments of this …… go un-noticed.

      NO, THIS HAS NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH LAUREEN BEING PART OF THE GROUP! Laureen just recently join the organization, and this project has been months in the making long before she arrived. We’ve been making donations to Dominica for years………example: the Grotto and the Hospital. However, this is the first time that we have ever published what we have done. SO, LEFT TO LAUREEN, THESE ARE THE FACTS!!!
