BANKS DIH Limited has joined in the relief effort to St. Vincent and the Grenadines following the eruption of the La Soufriere volcano which has forced the evacuation of thousands of residents on the Caribbean Island over the weekend. According to a release, the company has made a contribution of 10,000 lbs. of Triskits crackers and 2,400 cases of Tropical Mist and Rain Forest Waters in response to pleas by the country’s Prime Minister, Dr. Ralph Gonsalves, and regional governments for assistance to residents affected by the natural disaster.
Carlton Joao, Sales and Marketing Executive, said that some of the items were shipped to St. Vincent earlier this week while a second shipment is being prepared to be sent to the Island.
Banks DIH Limited has been working closely with the Private Sector Commission, the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA), the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) and other government agencies in mobilising much needed aid for the Caribbean Island.
