The
Georgia is springing into action to help
St. Vincent and the Grenadines after a series of volcanic eruptions this month forced the displacement of some 20,000 people in the small island nation.
This Saturday, April 24, the
Caribbean Association of Georgia will host its second weekend drive for relief items like non-perishable food, ventilation devices, N95 masks, baby care items and toiletries.
St. Vincent is located in the eastern Caribbean, west of
Barbados and south of
St. Lucia. Water service has been interrupted and supply contaminated in many areas, as thousands are being housed in more than 80 temporary shelters, prompting fears of COVID-19 outbreaks in country where case numbers have been low.
