Pale Kweyol - Activities
attracting attention
1 November 2005
The following is an update
from Jahisiah Jeremiah Benoit's Parle Creole project,
Dominica.
I am also pleased to inform
you that the project is going very well thus far
and the upcoming weeks should be no different.
Last week we held the official opening ceremony
as well as three of our feature activities namely
the Kweyol Extravaganza, the Kweyol Marche and
the Kweyol arts and Cuisine festival. These proved
to be very successful particularly the Kweyol
Marche where we had over 200 persons participating.
The general public has responded positively to
the project and we have had good turnouts at our
activities. We have been ensuring that we get
as much media coverage as possible and thus far
all of our activities have been featured on the
nightly news.
The radio program
has caught the attention of the wider public and
we have had callers from as far as Guadeloupe.
Even greater is the fact that based on the talent
displayed by the Pale Kweyol Tutors, Kairi FM
one of our top radio stations has requested that
we host a number of their live broadcasts including
the World Creole Music Festival, The National
Youth Rally and the Cultural Gallery. We have
also secured pictures and video footage of our
activities. However I have been having problems
attaching the pictures. We may have to mail you
a CD/ DVD with the footage.
There are still a few events
on the action plan to be implemented such the
Kweyol Spelling bee. Most of the schools across
our nation are scheduled to participate. Looking
to the future the Massacre Primary school as well
as Alliance François de la Dominique have approached
us to give classes at their respective institutions
next February. We are now beginning preparation
for these activities.
