EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS | 03 GENERAL INFORMATION DOMINICA One thing that sets Dominican cuisine apart is the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables. The open street markets in Roseau and Portsmouth are the best places to get fresh produce. Some common dishes you may want to try include roti, pelau and braf stew. Callalou and pumpkin soups are delicious traditional meals. “Bakes” are a common breakfast fare, made of fried bread stuffed with eggs and cheese, corned beef or tuna. Seafood is a staple in the Caribbean diet. Each day, fishermen come in with regular catches of tuna, marlin or dorado (mahi-mahi), and will sell it to you fresh out of the ocean. Fish is often served with a traditional Creole sauce.

International flights are not included in the participation fee Maranatha in Dominica Maranatha’s first project in Dominica was in 1979, when volunteers assisted with the construction of a Seventh-day Adventist secondary school in the city of Portsmouth. Maranatha’s major effort didn’t take place until the 1980s, after Hurricane David slammed into the island and destroyed many of its structures. In response, Maranatha began working on the island to help rebuild homes, churches, and schools. It was an effort that lasted into the 1990s. On the night of September 18, 2017, Hurricane Maria, a category 5 hurricane, plowed into Dominica. Rain and winds of more than 200 mph tore through the country. The storm lasted for hours, and in the morning, Dominicans woke to a scene of utter devastation. The once lush tropical island was stripped of leaves, trees, and vegetation. More than two dozen people lost their lives. Thousands of homes were impacted. Out of 34 Adventist churches on the island, 28 were damaged Project Schedule or destroyed. In late 2017, the Adventist Church in Dominica contacted Maranatha to request assistance in rebuilding their Wednesday, February 20 churches, and Maranatha began responding to their request in Arrival in Dominica May, 2018.

Title: Heritage education — Memories of the past in the present Caribbean social studies curriculum: a view from teacher practice Issue Date: 2019-05-28 Chapter 6: The presence of Wai’tu Kubuli in teaching history and heritage in Dominica 6.1 Introduction Figure 6.1: Workshop at the Salybia Primary School Kalinago Territory, Dominica, January 2016. During my stay in Dominica, I had the opportunity to organize a teachers’ workshop with the assistance of the indigenous people of the Kalinago Territory. Although the teachers interact with Kalinago culture on a daily basis, we decided to explore the teachers’ knowledge of indigenous heritage and to challenge them in activities where they could put their knowledge into practice. We then drew animals, plants, tools and objects that are found in daily life in the Kalinago Territory. Later on in the workshop, we asked teachers about the Kalinago names that were printed on their tag names. Teachers were able to recognize some of these Kalinago names, and sometimes even the stories behind them. In this simple way, we started our workshop on indigenous history and heritage — because sometimes the most useful and meaningful learning resources are the ones we can find in our everyday life. This case study took place in Dominica; the island is also known by its Kalinago name, Wai’tu Kubuli, which means “tall is her body.” The Kalinago Territory is the home of the Kalinago people.

  • 1 Mitchell Mclaughlin Xavier High School Cedar Rapids, IA Dominica
    Mitchell McLaughlin Xavier High School Cedar Rapids, IA Dominica, Factor 13 Diversifying Economy, Developing Infrastructure, and Establishing Sustainable Supply-Chains, to Promote Economic Growth and Development Today, we face an unprecedented challenge to sustainably produce sufficient to food, fiber, and feed to meet global demand. This paper will be addressing specific solutions for rural and subsistence farming families living in the country of Dominica. The rural farmers are the key to success in promoting economic growth as well as developing infrastructure in Dominica. Dominica’s agricultural industry dominates the country’s economy; the rural farmers account for almost 60% of the agricultural industry. The agricultural industry prospered throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s, due to the “banana boom” a period when banana exports to England tripled. However, recently, the United Kingdom is expected to cease banana imports from Dominica in favor of importing cheaper bananas from Latin America, making a balanced economy essential to Dominica’s future. The first step needed for economic growth to occur is a shift to a diverse economy with multiple sectors of industry. These potential industries include: fishing and tourism. Development of these industries will directly result in an increase in income due to job opportunities for those farming families who pursue an occupation in fishing or tourism in addition to subsistence farming. Specifically, the fishing industry will also improve the quality and quantity of food available to subsistence farmers. Infrastructural development will flourish after the economy has been diversified, allowing for further improvements in adequate storage, transportation, and processing of goods which primarily benefit the poor, rural farmers first.
