One of the highlights of the anniversary is the recognition of Grace Muella one of the volunteers who have been on all of the trips over the 25 year period in Dominica and 36 years in the west Indies. Grace lead the 2019 overseas team of 8 volunteers in the Castle Bruce Parish building two houses and other services rendered by her group.
They depart today Friday 25 January, at the same time, another 9 volunteers led by Duane Bried will arrive on island to volunteer in the Vieille Case Parish. The volunteers will attend a Thanksgiving Mass in their honor followed by a welcome reception on Sunday, January 27th at the Vieille Case Catholic Church.
The team during their two weeks stay in Vieille Case will build 1 house each in Penville, Paix Bouche and Bense, visit schools (including CALLS Portsmouth) and house recipients within the District.
