Dominica - Hike Fest 2009: The Morne Vert Loop from Soufriere

Unlike the first hike of Hikefest 2009 - the Chemin Letang trail, where it rained for 3 hours straight, the Morne Vert Loop from Soufriere and ended at Soufriere Sulphur Springs was definitely one of the better hikes I’ve been on for quiet awhile.

The weather conditions on the day was ideal for hiking; not too hot but still clear enough to catch some spectacular views.



Morne Vert is located near the south coast of the island and the Soufriere Sulphur Springs.The area has an abundance of geological, as well as cultural history. A perfect example is the Bois Cotellete plantation is one of the oldest estates on the island, which dates back to 1700’s.The ruins are still there. Also apart of trail is the Palmiste Estate - an ancient track which was used by Kalinago Indians.

The Dominica UK Association, DUKA was established in 1976 following a merger of two small Dominican groups operating in East London.

DUKA's first major project was the Hurricane David Relief Effort in 1979 involving the collection of clothing and foodstuffs from all over the UK for shipping to the "Nature Island". DUKA has continued to address the needs of our communities both in the UK and Dominica, and aims to do so even more visibly in the future.

Dominica Book - 'Home Again' NEW RELEASE...!!!

Home Again Stories of Migration and Return...

What happens when people return to the land of their birth after decades away? The migrants' journey is a well-told story but much less is known about those who return. Why do they go back? What is it like to be back home?

Home Again is a collection of contemporary real-life stories by men and women who have returned to Dominica. Their feelings and experiences, expressed in their own words, link the challenges of the past to both the positive aspects of return - a sense of belonging and well-being - and also to its difficulties - of rejection and frustration. Compelling, moving and intensely personal, Home Again, compiled for the Dominica UK Asssociation, is a revealing insight into the lives of these pioneering migrants.

Excellent photo slideshow of the Home Again book launch held in Dominica...

Dominica - 'HOME AGAIN: Stories of Migration and Return' launched

A book with a collection of contemporary real life stories written by 22 Dominicans can now be found in Roseau book stores...


‘Home Again: Stories of Migration and Return’ was conceptualized by Franklyn Georges who is also one of the writers. The stories were compiled by Polly Pattullo of Papillote Press and Celia Sothaindo for the Dominica-United Kingdom Association (DUKA).

According to a press release from Papillote Press, the contributors of the stories have returned home after living, working or studying in the UK, US, Canada, and the Caribbean region. Their ages range from 40 to 73.

Each contributor recounts the story of their childhood, the experience of migration and, finally, the positive and negative aspects of returning to their much-loved island, the press release stated.
