In their vulnerability lies an innocence that needs nurturing and protection. That’s why we host our annual Christmas party – it’s more than just a celebration; it symbolizes our commitment to these children. It’s a day dedicated to them, filled with joy, laughter, and love. It’s our way of showing them that they are cherished and valued, not just by their families but by their nation as well. This event is a small part of our larger mission to care for the vulnerable in Dominica.”
