St.Vincent and the Grenadines
LOCAL BUISNESSES AND CLUBS JOIN HAITI RELIEF
EFFORTS
Much like the rest of the Caribbean, and the rest of the world, many
local business places have made efforts to assist Haiti in their time of
need. Haiti, an impoverished Caribbean island, experienced a 7.0
Earthquake on Tuesday 12th January, causing widespread destruction
damage and fatalities in the country.
Digicel has put in place a text-to contribute system, where
one can text "HELP" to shortcode 5151 to donate $1 to the relief
efforts. Voyagers has put up a sign urging vincentians to drop their
donations in a basket inside. And Karib Cable have joined forces with
other clubs to collect cans and dried food.
