Anielia Viville and Meekella Joseph of Portsmouth took it upon themselves to clean the entire Benjamin Park on their own as their contribution for Community Day of service this year.<\/p>\n

Anielia is a first former of the Seventh Day Adventist School (A.W.S.D.A) and said she was inspired to do the clean up after being encouraged by one of her teachers to do a good deed for her community.<\/p>\n

She said her friend Meekella, also a first former who attends St. Johns Academy, later decided to take up the task with her to clean the park.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was the first time I participated in a cleanup. Giving back to my community felt fulfilling and I look forward to another activity like this one,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCleaning the park with just my friend was not too exhausting but at the end I must admit we were tired. The heat and manual labor wasn’t an easy task. However, at the end of the day we were elated to see such a great difference we made in four hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Although they believe they accomplished their goal they expressed some disappointment in the persons who passed by and did not offer to help, as they had hoped they would, but still felt the project was a success overall.<\/p>\n

Anielia and Meekella advised Dominicans especially the youth to keep their country clean and green to avoid excessive use of technology and should look towards cleaning Dominica and giving back to their communities.<\/p>\n

They have also decided to clean Benjamin park yearly and they wish to encourage others to help with this big task.<\/p>\n

The owner of the YAZZ Variety, Ms Jenny Polydore, rewarded them both with beverages and commended them for a job well done.<\/p>\n
