Hon Fraser dispatches Dominica relief items
Third District Representative Honourable Julian Fraser RA oversaw the final preparation and paperwork signing off to ship the items off.
Speaking with this news site at the container loading site in Purcell, Honourable Fraser said the relief effort began with a series of meetings starting on September 1, 2015 and it is only now that the relief items are being shipped.
Persons donated clothing, preserved foods and other articles towards the relief effort which is still very much ongoing weeks following the devastation which also resulted in loss of lives.
Storms and mudslides from Tropical Storm Erika in late August were said to have set Dominica back 20 years in terms of the devastation seen. Hundreds of homes, bridges and roads had been destroyed.
“The actual drive to collect the goods started on October 10, 2015 and as you can see it is now November 13 and we are now preparing to ship,” he said.
“The effort was carried out by me the Third District Representative getting together those Dominica residents of the Third District to come together on an effort to rally the people of the territory in an effort to garner support for the disaster in Dominica which is well known around the world by this time,” he said.
Honourable Fraser said he was very pleased that the shipment is about to be dispatched.
“I want to thank in particular the folks in Dominica, the Honourable Lennox Linton the Leader of the Opposition, also Rachel Francis of the Dominica Relief Aid. The goods are being shipped for King’s Hill Foundation for Poverty Alleviation,” he said.
He expressed the hope that the items will bring some form of comfort and relief to the people of Dominica affected by the flooding.
