While boiling, add your optionals ingredients to the mixture to personalize your sorrel drink if desired.

Allow  your sorrel to boil for at lease 15mins, then remove from heat and cover to lock in the flavor.

Allow the sorrel mixture to cool off then use a fine strainer to separate the sorrel juice from the sorrel sepals.

The Indian River

The Indian River is like a mini Amazon teeming with life – situated in the center of the town of Portsmouth to the North of Dominica.

The  river was name  Indian River after  the settlements of the Kalinagos formally known as  Carib Indians  that existed on the upper banks  of that river.

The Indian river gushes down the Morne aux Diables  Mountain range and  meanders to the  gently lowlands of Portsmouth  where it flows gracefully into the Caribbean sea. Due to its’ unique formation,  being below the sea level the water at the lower areas of the rivers  is  brackish, contributing to its unique vegetative growth and life forms.

The Indian River showcases Flora and Fauna that are very unique to that area of Dominica , some  of this variants including  Herons , King fisher, iguanas , varieties of birds.

The trip up the river take about 1 – 1 ½ hours.

At the top of the river sits a bar that serves a really bizarre menus and dish up some of the hottest local rum. There are lots to see and much  history to learn so its vital that you take along your camera.  Some of scenes in Pirate of the Caribbean was shot there.

RUSM Art&Craft Fair

The RUSM Art and craft fair is an annual even hosted by Ross University geared towards raising  awareness of  local culture while simultaneously raising funds for local charities on island.

Artist

This year has been quite an interesting one as artist and craftsmen came from all over Dominica with their paintings, wood carvings, woven baskets, walking sticks, calabash, island photography, dolls, jewelry, and souvenirs to take part in this grand event.

Ray Francis

At the fair, quit a few of the attendees got paintings and crafts and participated in a many of the fund-raising events but one of the artist that caught my attention was a gentle man by the name of Ray Francis who’s artistic concept was literally outside of the box, his paintings featured elements from his scenes protruding out of the canvas, one could actually feel and hold the hands and feet of the paintings.

Orlando Cuffy

While making my rounds I stumbled upon Orlando who has been a very frequent contributor to the event. He showed me some of his work and explained that the carvings were all skillfully carved from a single block of wood (no room for error) wow! . an there was Kathy Sorhaindo who has no facebook or twitter account (even my 4moths old baby has his own account LOL ), fortunately she had a hotmail address who created jewelry from copper and rare pieces of glass bottles washed up from the sea.

Kathy Sorhaindo

Just before I left the art fair I bounced up with Kelvin James who has been a close buddy, he is full of raw talent; he has mastered the art of painting water and is not afraid of trying new concepts.

Kelvin James

There were many other artists like Earl Etienne, Petros Meaza and many more that I came across and they all had very interesting art pieces and collections to numerous to mention.

 What Is Leukemia? What Causes Leukemia

Leukemia is cancer of the body’s blood-forming tissues, including the bone marrow and the lymphatic system.

Many types of leukemia exist. Some forms of leukemia are most common in children. Other forms of leukemia occur mostly in adults.

Leukemia usually starts in the white blood cells. Your white blood cells are potent infection fighters — they normally grow and divide in an orderly way, as your body needs them. But in people with leukemia, the bone marrow produces a large number of abnormal white blood cells, which don’t function properly.

Treatment for leukemia can be complex — depending on the type of leukemia and other factors. But there are strategies and resources that can help to make your treatment successful
