Hon Rymer extends gratitude to OWB

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, the minister stated, "But I just want to acknowledge the operators without borders. We have some members of the team here. They've been here for a week. I think this would have been the fifth or the sixth PRV that they've done in that time."

Meanwhile, Jason Mank of Operators Without Borders emphasised that their organisation is a nonprofit and that all volunteers assist wherever help is needed. "We go to all the islands whenever they need some help from volunteers. Everybody who comes and works with us is a volunteer. We are 100% nonprofit. We come in and help, or we can, and offer specialty."

Mank added, "We have one of our specialists that will be coming back to recalibrate all the PRVs all across the island after we get them installed."
