At the beginning of last month, we told you how the Ministry of Defense deployed 35 BDF soldiers to Dominica to help with the rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Maria devastated the island country.

Well, the BDF is reporting tonight that in the 30 days that the soldiers have been there, they have put in major work for the Dominîcans. They have refurbished two school buildings, and they've repaired the Catholic Cathedral of Dominica. The soldiers have also constructed a temporary fence at the Windsor Park Cricket Stadium, and they've a renovated the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency building. The BDF platoon has also repaired the roofs of the Veiella Police Station and the Museum in Kalingo Territory. They have also assisted in the transportation of construction materials to different parts of the island, and they've provided cost estimates for various rebuilding projects.

The BDF's press release says, quote, "The soldiers and their Commander are in high spirits and are happy to have been a part of the relief effort to bring back Dominica to normalcy." End quote.
