Dominica Hurricane Relief

Letter of Support - Rebuild Dominica

A Special Note to former DAAS Members

We would like to invite former DAAS members to restore their association with the NEW DAAS. We had a hiatus in communication and then cofounder Raglan Riviere passed away. We owe Raglan a huge debt of gratitude for his dedication to the DAAS mission. The NEW DAAS website has been upgraded by Raglan's daughter, Jacqueline Pearson, and we remain committed to our DAAS mission. The website is open to all for the exchange of ideas and as a repository of information about Dominica.

As Raglan originally envisioned, we plan to be a vehicle for informed and spirited discussion of the social and economic issues facing our island. We are particularly interested in a civil communion of on-island perceptions and Diaspora experience. We encourage you to join us in this quest. The disaster that hurricane Maria has been makes this quest, and communion of minds, particularly urgent.

The DAAS website is a simple, attractive Weebly site that is complete. While we will handle data and subject matter issues, as we did previously, we need someone to input data and help Maintain and Manage the site as Raglan did. We will also need someone to assist with the MailChimp Newsletter mailings. A rough idea of what is required is as follows:
