Ms Tanice Brown, VP for the FST Guild of Students (front row left), was among seven UWI students participating in a joint project between the University of the West Indies (UWI) and the State University of New York (SUNY) to rebuild a preschool in hurricane ravaged Dominica. The project is being spearheaded by the SUNY UWI Centre for Leadership and Sustainable Development. It is the first initiatiative of this type undertaken by the centre, reflecting the work which so closely aligns with its goal of facilitating student advocacy toward sustainable development in the region. Fourteen students, seven from the UWI and seven from SUNY – New Paltz and a faculty member from each institution, recently travelled to the island of Dominica to begin work, rebuilding the Morne Prosper Pre-School and restoring the attached primary school from January 7 to 19.
