The Barbados Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) has joined its regional counterparts to rally its membership and provide much-needed assistance to St. Vincent & The Grenadines (St Vincent) in its time of need as the country reels from the devastating impact of ongoing eruptions of the La Soufrière Volcano.
Since news broke of the volcanic eruption on Friday, April 9, the BCCI has been actively working in close coordination with local authorities in Barbados, as well as the regional network of Chambers of Commerce to support the St Vincent emergency response. Through its mobilisation efforts, BCCI members have donated money, as well as supplies including over 3000 cases of water, and emergency equipment.
