The people of the Carib Territory are always in need of resources of every kind. The Salybia Mission Project strives to alleviate the medical needs of the area as well as other community services. However, we can only continue to provide such care and support as a result of the generosity of medical student, health care workers, and other volunteers.
We continuously serve as a channel of donation between interested parties and the Kalinago people. If you are interested in helping the indigenous people of Dominica, please contact the Salybia Mission Project Chair, Mr. John Hawley.
