The standby generators are large capacity FG Wilson 13.5 KVA suitable for large homes or businesses. They are scheduled to arrive in the VI by October 30, 2017. Bank of Asia Chairman, Carson Wen, and his Wife Julia, will donate US$100,000 of their personal funds to the VI community also.

“Our thoughts are with the people of the BVI and the other territories that have been impacted by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. We will do all we can to assist the BVI community,” said Bank of Asia’s Chairman, Carson Wen.

Mr Wen further stated “While the Bank has not officially opened its doors for business in the BVI, we believe we have a responsibility to help the BVI people and are honoured to support them in their time of need. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this horrific tragedy”.
