Dominica Peace Concert Soon
Recently, Dominica paid tribute to victims of tragic deaths with a peace concert. Run by the Dominica Social Justice and Peace Committee, Inc, the concert honored those who died young and tragic deaths this past year.
With the most recent elections behind them, and Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit re-elected, Dominica focused its attention on worthwhile causes of this sort. Reggae star Garnet Challenger performed at the concert. He is the composer of the event’s theme song, Give Peace Another Chance.”
There were many sponsors of the concert including the Venezuelan Embassy who sponsored flyers and t-shirts for the event. Other sponsors included: the Cultural Division, Isaiah Thomas Secondary School, St Joseph Village Council, Layou Improvement Council, National Youth Council; Dominica State College, Dominica Christian Council, Camp Rescue Londonderry, Dominica National Council of Women, Youth Secretariat, Portsmouth Neighborhood Watch, the Police Force, Nurses Association, Dominica Cancer Society and the Dominica Association of Persons with Disabilities.
