DOMINICA CARNIMAS 2018 FT PATRICE ROBERTS ASA BANTAN TRIPLE KAY AND MUCH MORE

Carnimas is a fusion of Christmas and the Carnival festivities of sorts coming together as one. This is the very first of its kind in the Nature Isle of the Caribbean. Featuring in this Carnimas show was none other than the Trinidadian Soca singer, Patrice Roberts, the Bouyon boss Asa Bantan, Bouyon Kings Triple Kay International, Jamaica's very own Danja Dane and lots more came out to this event. A one of a kind in the Caribbean that fused so many hype genres that it was virtually impossible to not have a good time at this event.

DOMINICAN CITIZENS CALLING ON GOVERNMENT FOR ELECTORAL REFORM

One thing that we know is important for any society to function freely and fairly to establish an equal and fair ground. As Dominica is now within its election/political season, electoral reform is what's being asked for by the citizens of Dominica. What is electoral reform you may ask? Electoral Reform is what gives the right set of people, the right to vote within a fair timeframe and thus justifies who the people want to be their next Prime Minister and this is what brings these individuals, though few in number for now, a reason to voice their concerns to the public and this is what is required for Electoral Reform. Electoral Reform has not been done since in the 90s so it is high time that this is done.

Glanvilla Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony

Steel Pan music playing, Christmas Season has arrived and the goose is getting fat but in the mean time let's all come together and have a good time in the park nuh? After all, this is what the Christmas Season is truly all about and one thing we can all agree on is that of Togetherness. Organized by the Portsmouth Council; we have been brought to the essence of the Christmas Season through the use of musical instruments, carols  and lights, in the village of Glanvilla.
The usual separation caused by work and daily activities has been pushed aside during this season and everyone is asked to join together to bring forth that Christmas cheer and love. The event was held at the Glanvilla Park, in Portsmouth, and quite a number of persons showed up to be a part of this ceremony. One of the things that Caribbean people pride themselves in, is in music and the use of musical instruments like the steel pan is a definite must. The melodious sounds of the steel pan playing in unison to that of the Christmas carols with a simple touch of God's grace, is the perfect celebration atmosphere in my books. I'm absolutely positive that Jesus was smiling that night! Let the Christmas season activities begin!

Ross Christmas Dinner

At every year end, the Ross University School of Medicine holds this annual event, where both staff, faculty and their family members, get to come together to have a wonderful dinner and time of fun and great tidings around the Christmas Season. This time around, the Christmas Dinner was held in Portsmouth at the Cabrits National Park also known as Fort Shirley. What better way is there to end the year than to end it with as a unit of friends, family and co-workers. This kinds of events show that life isn't all about work and according to Franklyn Moses who recited 'Life is not measured by the number of breathes we take, but by the moments that take our breathe away.' It was a wonderful night filled with laughter and joy brought about by the talented Mr. Franklyn Moses;

and performances, brought about by Michele Henderson and company and the Fanatik Band. Food, fun, comedy, fellowship and a whole lot of dancing. One thing you will see is that Dominicans love dancing with a passion under some good rhythms. It is for this cause Ross showed its appreciation to its members and after it all, it was a very successful evening. Merry Christmas to all the Ross University Staff and Faculty in Dominica and a Happy and Prosperous New Year! God Bless. :D
