This year the theme for Dollar Day is \u201cYour Benevolence, Our Continued Existence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miss Sango explained that this initiative is DAPD\u2019s major fund-raising activity which plays a vital part in DAPD\u2019s operation. Therefore, she encourages everyone from all walks of life to donate at least one dollar to this worthy cause.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese funds go towards continuing to provide the important services for persons with disabilities, the programs, and our essential services. Unfortunately, last year we did not meet our target. However, our target has always been $70,000 yearly and we have never met that goal over the years. In spite of this , we remain optimistic that 2024 will be our year to meet that target with the assistance of the general public,\u201d Sango stated.<\/p>\n<p>Sango added, \u201c The funds that are donated are going to a good cause, in light of this I just want to appeal to persons to assist, as we do the work of advocacy in Dominica and provide for persons with disabilities, as persons with disabilities are in need of these crucial services across Dominica.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDAPD longevity could not have been possible without the support and help of the general population. The Dominica Association of Persons with Disabilities (DAPD) has been in existence for over forty years. I want to say thank you to those who have already donated and those who are planning to donate,\u201d Sango said. Donations can be made until\u00a0 December 31, 2024, at DAPD\u2019s office at Canal Lane, Goodwill, or they can be contacted on 440 0842 for additional details on how to contribute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President of the Dominica Association of Persons with Disabilities (DAPD) Judy Sango said she is optimistic that the DAPD will fulfill the set target of $70, 000 for the 2024 National Dollar Day, which marks the 18th Dollar Day.
