Members of the Clare Valley Primary School Red Cross group and residents of the community banded together on Saturday to clean the beach there following the impact of Hurricane Beryl.
“The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Red Cross continues to play a significant role at all levels following Hurricane Beryl,” a press release said.
“They have provided and continue to provide relief supplies and psychosocial support to persons affected by the passage of this hurricane throughout St. Vincent and the Grenadines.”
The Red Cross said that at the community level, their volunteers continue to assist people with cleanup and preparation “for the next event since we are only at the beginning of the hurricane season.
“Not being a volunteer does not prevent you from assisting in your community. The Red Cross reminds persons that they too can make a difference in their homes and communities since together, we are our first aid,” the release said.
Why doesn’t the government do these things? Why doesn’t the government spray the beaches with white sand? Too expensive? Only God knows.
