The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Grenada continued its generosity and friendship to the Grenadian people by collaborating with the Grenada China Friendship Association and distributing 100 food bags to vulnerable people throughout Grenada on Saturday, 12 September 2020.
The food drive which started in June 2020 has benefitted 300 Grenadian families so far. This collaborative initiative between the Embassy and the Association is meant to offset some of the challenges that people are experiencing due to the effects of Covid-19.
Three teams of representatives from the Embassy and the Association patronised several supermarkets whose employees prepared the grocery bags. In distributing the food bags, the teams brought an additional surprise of a stuffed panda to children in families who benefitted from the food drive.
The food bags contained goods that could create meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. One St David resident claimed that the food drive was the first type of charity that her village has received since the passage of Hurricane Ivan.
The Chinese Embassy representatives were enthused by their engagement with the communities and especially pleased to see that Grenadians accept their kindness.
Grenada China Friendship Association
Exactly thank you soo much. Tell them!
Listen. Just shut the hell up and donate your own local GRENADIAN food if you think that chinese food is garbage. Saying is easier than being done so just go out there or just dont say anything at all. Up to now you ignorant people dont even know what is in that bag.
Great comments. I think the port was in Sri Lanka. There is a difference in being poor and being impoverished. If you’re poor you don’t have a lot of stuff but you can still have a fine life. If impoverished you have the sense of not having and being deprived and soon no ambition to provide. In all religions there is a process of renunciation for the truly devout. Jesus was a renunciate. “Render unto Caesar….” or “a wealthy man has as much chance of entering the kingdom of heaven as a camel passing through the eye of a needle”. Or something like that. It’s true about the UN vote buying, I’m pretty sure of that. Good move on their part.
Be care with what you received from China, they’re using poor countries to export their garbage..China has alot of fake food that is made from plastic such as rice, cheese, cabbage, egg, beef , chicken even fish & much more..They take their dead body & make cornbeef which they ship them to Africa..The place where they grow & prepared food is very unsanitary..
Please Grenadian don’t accept nothing from China especially food because you gonna die slowly..
Well then go donate your own food. Then that is the problem. Grenadians do nothing but just complain. Why not go buy some food in iga put them in some paper bags and go distribute them out to families in need. All grenadians do is complain and never help and that is why so many of you people are very very ignorant.
Be very carefu with their milk…. especially the powdered stuff….. some are Not milk…
Be aware . China is not doing this from the kindness of their heart. They will soon own Grenada.
China is NOT a democratic country. As Black people havent we learn from the past
It’s all about the vote in the UN.
** BEWARE ** …BE SO VERY VIGILANT…. This is how the Chinese with their CCP masters operate. It’s soft Colonialism, The CCP is slowly taking over poorer counties using this tactic. They will hand out trinkets while slowly eroding the average citizens rights and property. All one has to do is see what the CCP has done to other black countries and their workers under the false guise of “Charity”…. Grenadians, Wake up now, Invest in yourself, your infrastructure and local business. The CCP will strip your country of its valuable assets while smiling at you. Didn’t the European slave trade teach you anything. There are hundreds of videos about the effect of the Chinese pillaging resources under the lie of community improvement. All wealth will be sent back to China and the CCP while your citizens will be left holding an empty bag and your resources will belong to the CCP . You are being fleeced with a smile, they look at you as cheap labor. We Caribbean people are smarter than they give us credit for even though our leaders only see the dollar, You have been warned.
Glad to see such kind of charity event, thank you Grenada China Friendship Association and the Chinese embassy. Action speaks louder than words.
Alicia, it will be very interesting to see what your comments will be a few years from.
Remember, there is no free lunch in this world so you better wake up before the Chinese make you a permanent beggar and underclass.
By the way, be careful of what you accept from strangers, especially food.
Wake up Indigenous Grenadians before it is too late
John, as I’m sure you will agree, healthy neighbours make a healthy neighbourhood. And yes, there is such a thing as a free lunch! Are you honestly telling us that you’ve never given a meal to a friend out of complete generosity? Do you only give things away with the expectation of a later return? Are you really that type of person who doesn’t? No. I don’t think you are!
So what drives you to believe that others cannot be the same as you?
China has never always been fortunate and neither have you. Why would they not act any less generously than you?
Alistair I am not even sure you are Grenadian but If you are you need to look outside your little bubble to see how relationships with china ends. ..this is part of their belt and road initiative. Look it up see how their ” genorosity ” normally ends. Smh at you people who are happy to take the rest down either through greed or stupidity
I don’t know if you are Grenadian or not…but this kind of flippant reply suggests that you are not in the know.. .China is NOT democratic and as such good deeds to a vulnerable country must come with a price. You believe they are doing it because of a need to help the poor? Please sister, do some research and see how they flood poorer communities in their own land without warning or how about the way they treat the Christians or even Muslims in their country.. You think it’s heresay…How about they come to the Caribbean, bring their OWN workers and would never hire locals to work unless it’s a very menial type of job. We are in a worlwide depression, if you do your research you would know that…and land for food will be the next monetary unit. Hold on to your resources people of Grenada..Please. China is the next conquistadors.
Isn’t there other things happening in Grenada that’s more newsworthy? and why is this being covered in the first place. It could have been carried out without the publicity and photo opportunity.
I agree with you ADM. Grenada is a lush island with fruit trees and land with food everywhere. Sometimes its falling g of the trees. The Chinese are looking to sway the minds of the Grenadian and the youth.(hence the panda toy). And they always look for the PHOTO OPPORTUNITY. All part of the smooth take over/infiltration. They have a long plan in place. Its methodical . Piece by piece. Influencing the minds is just part of it. BELT AND ROAD all the way. Many countries signed on to CHINA’s Belt and Road Initiative. They think China has Free money. It’s not free. A Country had to Relinquish its Major Port to China because the free money was due and they did not have it. As long as a loan is colaterized it is not free. As long as someone is willing to lend you money to build something that will not bring a profit you are doomed to lose your collateral. So not so fast.
Why don’t we just change the name from Grenada to Chigrada.
