Pale Kweyol - Local sponsorship
obtained!
27 September 2005
The following is an update
from Jahisiah Jeremiah Benoit's Parle Creole project,
Dominica.
We are working closely with
the Minister of Education, Human Resource Development,
Youth and Sports as well as the Chief Cultural
Officer in implementing the project.
With regard to the local
Assistance we have done very well; The radio
program has been sponsored for two months by the
Scotia Bank as well as Two newspapers, namely
The Chronicle and The Times have agreed to place
our Kweyol puzzles in their papers for free.
The Roseau Improvement Committee
(R.I.C) is fully sponsoring the Kweyol Marche
and the Cultural Division is making available
six (6) cash prizes for the Kweyol Marche.
Carribbean Star is sponsoring
what promises to be one of our most anticipated
events namely the Kweyol Arts/Cuisine Festival
and have made available a number of prizes including
a free trip.
The R.I.C, Youth Development
Division and ASC Schillingfords Supermarket is
Sponsoring the Kweyol Spelling B and we have just
been given the ok from the ministry to proceed
with the necessary work. The National Youth Council
of Dominica of which I am the Public Relations
Officer is sponsoring the Kweyol Extravaganza.
The Youth Culture and Heritage
has teamed up with the National Bank of Dominica
to hold the first Kweyol Apprentice show.
Today we successfully conducted
the Pale Kweyol orientation which was well received
by the participants. They are interested in much
more than the classes and events such as the Kweyol
marche, Kweyol Extravaganza and the Kweyol arts
and Cuisine festival are highly anticipated.
Classes officially commence
on the 3rd of October whilst the radio program
starts this Saturday at 9:00 am, both of the leading
radio stations are very interested and have asked
for a simulcast of the program. We are working
on accomplishing this.
