Home African Caribbean Appeal for assistance to St Lucia flood victims

In Community news.

To All Nationals and Friends of Saint Lucia

We are all now aware of the devastation caused to communities and the general infrastructure of Saint Lucia on 24 -25 December 2013  by a severe weather system which also caused loss of life and are anxious to assist our families, relatives and friends back home. The High Commission in collaboration with a newly formed disaster committee comprising of Unity of UK Saint Lucian Association members and other Saint Lucian nationals will facilitate the relief effort from the United Kingdom. Please note the following:

ITEMS NEEDED

The authorities in Saint Lucia have submitted a list of items that are currently needed. (List attached)  Approved drop-off points where items donated could be deposited have also been identified. (Also attached). Prior to making any deliveries, kindly contact respective persons.

The High Commission hopes that the guidelines from the authorities will be taken into consideration for sourcing those items which are urgently needed.  We would implore that nationals do not use this as an opportunity to ship unwanted items to Saint Lucia.  The High Commission will not be obliged to accept donations which are not included on the list provided. All our donations will go to a central point in Saint Lucia, for distribution to the areas where they will be most needed.
