Andrew Participates in New Sports Stadium Opening Ceremony



On October 24th, Dominica held the official Opening Ceremony for its new Windsor Park Sports Stadium. Andrew was selected as one of four children from his school (Pioneer Prep) to participate. About 100 children formed the honour guard for arriving dignitaries and then remained on the field during the introductory remarks.

Practice took place at the stadium a few days before, so we enjoyed seeing the sparkling new stadium.

The highlight of the ceremony for Andrew was the spectacular fireworks display. Since the stadium was a gift to Dominica from the People's Republic of China, we expected great fireworks -- and we got them!
