**Educator Calls on Dominicans to Prioritize Social Causes Over Personal Recognition**
Dominica – In response to the recent murder of 16‑year‑old Jerbiah Paul and a reported increase in child‑abuse incidents on the island, local educator Beverly Leblanc has urged individuals, churches, community groups and civil‑society organisations to examine their motivations and place social causes ahead of personal recognition.
Speaking publicly, Leblanc highlighted the need for collective action to address the underlying issues contributing to violence against children. She emphasized that community efforts should focus on safeguarding vulnerable youth rather than seeking individual accolades.
The appeal comes amid growing concern among Dominicans over the safety of children and the prevalence of abuse cases. Leblanc’s call for a shift in priorities aims to foster a more collaborative approach to social challenges facing the island.
