Ramblings From The Nature Paradise of Dominica

I like talking with children. Unlike adults, with children their dreams have no ceiling. It’s inspiring to listen to their goals and ideas. Kids start dreaming at an early age. They think about their future career, their wealth, their education, and so on. And their dreams can be huge.

When it comes to choosing a career, some will choose the characteristic police officer, fire fighter, or doctor. Others will choose Astronaut, Olympian, or President. If we’re talking about wealth, some will aspire to simply “have money”, while others will seek a business empire or the ability to retire at age 45 or younger.

As a parent, you have more control over whether or not your children achieve their dreams than we might think. For kids, parents are inspiration, motivation, and leadership.

You might think that your child’s dreams are unrealistic. That’s the negative adult inside you. No wonder so many kids in Dominica are failing at the secondary education level, because they’re presented with this unsolicited advice at an early age. These children grow up with this stigma that certain dreams are unachievable. You should believe in your child because they believe in themselves; and you’re probably the only other support they have.

A group of amateur seismologists/geologists who are loosely affiliated with the international group have taken upon themselves to noble task of starting a “People Seismic Network”.

Public Seismic Network purpose on Dominica is to build a constituency of well informed residents who not only know how to respond to catastrophic earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and other geological hazards but support hazard mitigation programs in the community.
