In spite of the fact that Dominica has already engaged a new academic year, I cannot forget one of the most memorable events that took place at the closure of the previous school year. On June 20, 2015, the Pioneer Preparatory School held an art exhibition presenting the work of its students, aged 4 to 12. The exhibition brought together teachers, students, parents, relatives and friends of the school, all of whom were simply the art friends of the young talents.

Personally, it was an exhilarating experience to see how children of Dominica view the world, and how this is reflected in their art work.

The first thing that caught my eye was the unique choice of bright and rich colours in all the art pieces. Retrospectively speaking, this is not really surprising as under the hot sun, there is simply no place for shades of grey. If one looks at the sea, he sees a mirror of brilliant blues; if he gazes at the mountains, he witnesses a lush green carpet.

In an effort to help spread the Christmas sheer, soon-to-be-opened Rosalie Bay Resort held its first ever Christmas party.

Instead of the usual annual Christmas staff party, the owners of the Resort and the staff members thought it would be better share the Christmas sheer with over a hundred kids from the nearby villages of Riviere Cyrique, Grand Fond, and Morne Jaune.

To bring authenticity to the party, Dominica’s very own Santa Claus took some time off his busy Xmas schedule to celebrate with children – it was so exciting to see the expressions on all the children faces when Santa drove to the party on a John Deere Go-Kart. 😀

That’s what the Holiday Season is all about, sharing with each other and that’s just what all the great folks at Rosalie Bay Resort did for all these kids. I was just happy to be there.

Rosalie Bay Resort Update

As for the resort, and when it plans to opens its doors to the public – the owners were anticipating opening the resort November past, but had to re-schedule the opening for another six months due to some major setbacks. But I must say, comparing to what I saw the last time I visited Rosalie Bay, the resort is no doubt on its final stages before the doors are open-up to the long guest waiting list.

Here are some scenes from the Christmas Party.
