Following their donations of Food supplies, drinks and toiletries to the Dominica Infirmary and the Grotto Home for the Homeless to the tune of over $800.00 on December 23rd 2021, the St. Joseph based Sagicor General Somerset Sports Club, (Somerset) ended their Community Outreach Program for the year, by feeding the less fortunate of the village of St. Joseph.
On Monday December 27th, the Sports Club provided thirty 30 hot meals to some less fortunate brothers and sisters in the community as a climax to their Outreach Program for this year.
The hot meals were very well received, and the fact that a few came back for a second serving is a clear indication by some of our brothers and sisters of the importance to satisfy that dire need when hunger strikes.
Somerset has been providing hot meals to the less fortunate in the community over the past six years consecutively, but given that situation, the club is willing to discuss and consider the possibility of providing such a service other than just at Christmas, subject of course, to the availability of resources.
Prior to that, on December 24th, the club delivered grocery hampers to three senior citizens of the village of St. Joseph ad its environs in an attempt to help them celebrate a better Christmas, 2021.
We extend profound gratitude to all those who made the extraordinary sacrifice (including former members residing overseas) to make these activities possible.
IBO,skerrit gave $250,000 and $300,000 houses and apartments to thousands of Dominicans FREE.He is the one who brought Clear Harbour to Dominica.He also invented NEP,Yes we care and the$300 monthly for 2,700 people,how about that?LEAVE Somerset out of your political BS.Thank you Mr Ambrose FINGERS Sylvester and the other members of Somerset,job well done.Have not seen Ronald Style Weeks CUFFY and Simon Salpwayson Khani Vidal for some time.Keep up the good work.God bless.I understand BLESSINGS was a spinner who usually bowled from the cemetery end(laughter)
I remember Ms. Kathrine who had the kitchen at the grotto and feeding the people on the streets. They all new where to get their food. Hotels would Contribute with their excess and this was going good for them. Thank God for her but she had to move on. These people need that daily is not a one time thing. I know skerrit have enough money hiding that they can employ persons for that. Have a place for a kitchenette for the homeless. Stop hiding de money for u and your family. It’s another job here for persons. Can be managed by your wife. If you don’t want someone else to manage. Cooks and Cleaners would be needed. Here goes another employment opportunity for the unemployed.
It’s a wonderful thing the club is doing, we should all look into making it better, let us all forget the what if this person give up this or that, let every say I can give that so I will, then you will soon notice it becomes WE are doing are a great thing. As the scripture says the poor you will have always, it’s written! therefore do for your own reward and it’s not of this earth. May the good Lord bless the Somerset club and all those who make this caregiving happen. God bless.
Mr. Skerrit should vacate that luxurious castle expeditiously. Approximately $2 000 000 of taxes, which should have been spent to feed, clothe, shelter and rehabilitate those citizens who have fallen on rough times, has been wasted on a moron and his family.
Where is the outrage from the churches, news media and the entire civil society? Their gun powder is soaking wet and their mouths are on lockdown. Nothing dirty politicians like more than an indifferent, apathetic and ignorant electorate.
This kind gesture by the Somerset Sports Club was quite commendable. I applaud the management and members for contributing to such a worthy cause.Well done!
At the same time, it saddens me to see the number of vagrants exploding exponentially on the streets, especially in Roseau. My heart weeps for these hapless people. Hunger pain no easy. Hunger leads to immorality, lawlessness and serious crimes.
What is most hurtful is this. While these brothers and sisters eat from garbage bins; sleep on the cold, bare concrete; have no place to shower; Mr. Skerrit, his wife and children eat, sleep and live in unimaginable opulence at the expense of poor tax payers.
Anyone who attempts to defend the Skerrit’s incredibly affluent lifestye while so many citizens maje their beds on the hard, dirty sdewalks, completely exposed to all the elements, a special place is reserved for you in Hell.
Ibo France Why not play your part? Perhaps you can adopt one of them. Feed, counsel, assist one or more if you can. Regardless of that, the government cannot do this alone. We as citizens instead of crying some of them down, we could encourage, pray, house, clean them.
Many persons assist too but some of us do not like to be highlighted on media etc.
Instead of looking at others, do your share if it hurts you so much. It is more blessed to give and especially when you do it for those who cannot return a favor. Most persons do things so they can be rewarded and expect something in return from those they help. They are the ones who look down on the less fortunate. Their own relatives have turn their backs on them. Not even the basic they do. They have left them for the “Government” to care and provide all their needs. If they had won the lottery or something, they would stick like a tayta. Your child is yours whether he is well, sane, challenged etc. Love covers a multitude of…
