Rotary Club of Dominica enacted repairs to Grotto Home for the Homeless

The relationship between the Rotary Club of Dominica and the Grotto Home for the Homeless spans for over a decade as part of the club’s mandate is to assist the less fortunate and give Service Above Self. It was in this vein that the club stepped in after Hurricane Maria to enact several much-needed repairs to the new Grotto building in Bellevue Rawle, Stockfarm.

At the time of the hurricane the residents were housed at the old Dominica Club House on High Street, Roseau while the new building was nearing completion. Hurricane Maria damaged both structures, putting the residents in a very precarious situation. The Rotary Club of Dominica then stepped in to enact repairs to the roof, walkway, and reception area of the new structure.

The club partnered with several organizations to accomplish this daunting tasks, namely: the Board of Directors at Community Hostels Inc., Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica (Ministry of Health), The Sandals Foundation, Debie Hardy and friends, Rotary District 7030, Rotary International, Rotary Club of Portsmouth, Sunshine Construction, Stewart F. Paris, Marvlyn Birmingham, and members of the Rotary club Of Dominica.
