The Grenada Red Cross Society in its auxiliary role to government continues to work in communities to help alleviate the hardships brought about by Covid-19.
Throughout July 2020, 250 families will receive food and hygiene packages each at an approximate value of EC$200 (specialised items to meet additional needs are included when available). Beneficiaries include households with persons living with confirmed cases of Covid-19, with elderly (65+), expectant women, households with 3 or more children under the age of 18 years, with cases of chronic illnesses, physically challenged or immobile persons, single parents experiencing economic deprivation due to loss of income or have not received any assistance within the last 2 weeks.
Grenada Red Cross Society distribution packages
Packages have also been sent for distribution through the Carriacou office. The Grenada Red Cross wishes we could do more but depend on donations from corporate and private citizens. We cannot do it all, we cannot do it alone. Special thanks to the donors who made this distribution possible. We encourage others to join with us, donate and follow us on social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) to keep abreast of the great work being done by our volunteers to improve and save lives.
Grenada Red Cross Society
This is truly amazing!
I thought that the Red Cross generally shows up when there is a natural disaster of some sort or maybe I have totally missed the point when it comes to assessing the situation or level of stupidity in Grenada.
Just last week we were seen accepting hand-outs from the Chinese; this week we are seen accepting hand-outs again but from the Red Cross. I wonder what is the plan for next week? Maybe we will seek some more hand-outs from some other countries/agency interested in getting their hands on free land or the remainder of resources of value we have left.
It will be very interesting to see where this policy and mentality of seeking hand-outs, constantly begging, and resorting to inaction is going since the people who claim to represent the interest of Indigenous or Native Grenadians do not seem to have any constructive and sustainable plan for us.
Wake up, Indigenous or Native Grenadians!
