On Saturday, 27 June 2020, one hundred and eighty Grenadians benefited from a food hamper provided by the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Grenada, and the Grenada China Friendship Association.
The donations were proportionally distributed to families in St David, St Andrew, St Patrick, St Mark, and St John.
The relief food drive was initiated by the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China and supported by the Grenada China Friendship Association, who both saw the need to support vulnerable Grenadians during this time of slow economic growth from the effects of Covid-19.
Rice, sugar, flour, baking powder, oil, peas, milk, potatoes, onions, garlic, saltfish, sardines, oats, soap and bleach constituted some of the items in the relief hamper. Local grocery stores conveyed appreciation for the sales in these unforeseen difficult times — as the items were purchased in the parishes where beneficiaries live.
Recipients expressed gratitude for the intervention. Paul Phillip of Marigot, St John was proud to benefit from the initiative, considering his circumstances — suffering from the recent deaths of his wife and daughter, and the amputation of his leg because of chronic illness. “This goes a long way,” he said, “I am truly grateful.”
On Saturday 4 July 2020, the food relief drive will conclude with the delivery of 20 food hampers to residents in various villages in St George, compliments of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Grenada, the Grenada China Friendship Association, and the Consolidated Contractors Company Caribbean Inc. (CCC).
Mr are you aware that you are selling out our birth right to the Chinees.
Do you know what happens when you let them in the country & give them 1 inch they take a foot. Watch out dont sell our birthright for a 1 lb of salt fish and a couple tins of sadines in the stomach today & tomorrow is waste.
They dont care for us they only want what we have for their people. Just watch they will only hire only chines in their business. For the citizens they will use them to clean up the chicken shit.
I am counting on you mr. Please dont sell us out. Our founding fathers fought the fight many years for our freedom they would turn in their graves only to know you sold us out for a few pigtails & 1Lb of saltfish
Shame on those who allow the strong to take advantage of the poor people
I am disgusted as a Grenadian to watch that happend right in front me eyes.
GIVE THEM BACK THEIR SALT FISH & pigtail. AND TELL THEM TO PACK UP AND GO HOME Back Where the come from. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
BYE BYE
Totally agree we should grow our own
The grenada i once knew had backbone. Dont play with your gift God gave you all.
Lord Jesus please help our leaders not to sell us over to this cunning nation of China. I agree nothing is free for them. When you buy their products you can’t even be a penny short. Plus their products are fake and poor quality. They better check to make sure it’s real rice. Am so worried about this nation so called relationship with Grenada. What is it they are really behind and why Grenada. God please protect my gullible nation my home.. Also why was it a problem to accept the food from St Vincent our neighbor. SMH
Something doesn’t adds up. Be careful of so called hands out.
That’s a cunning trick. Why does some black nation are so ready to accept, what they no knowledge of the products quality…
Be aware of the invisible STORM !!!@??
Dis not de first ting dem slopeheads have sent us….
Grenadian that is greed and shameless of you all to eat from another hand. With such amazing blessed soil God has given grenadian. All the foods that will send you to the doctor…. why did they give the food in st George’s and only people in the country side. Answer that! Go plant you’ll food in you backyard, eat from you own hard works. The food will be sweeter and digest properly. Gosh. May God open you’ll eyes.
Yep. Conniving brutes. That’s what they are. Our leaders are being suckered. What a shame.
I will never eat anything that comes from China, they are a bunch of deceitful and wicked people. The rice could be plastic also the salt fish could be snake, don’t trust these people, they are up to no good. All the prime minister of Grenada is doing is filling his pocket.
Remember that nothing is free in politics
Well said. Anything produced in China for instance food is suspect. Their standard of food harvesting and production is not above board. What is wrong with our leaders.
This is all very nice of China but please Grenada politicians open your eyes and see what the Chinese are doing to countries all over the world. giving a little but end up taking a lot. These people do not give things for free. They are coming for our island. See what’s happening in other Caribbean islands….
In Canada we do not eat anything from China…they shipped tainted pet food killing our pets. They have tampered with baby formula killing their own babies..now they buy baby formula from Canada and ship it back to China because they dont trust their own government. DO NOT BE FOOLED!
They are looking for power and control ..
