The French NGO, Electricians Without Borders has installed a total of 37 generators in various institutions in Dominica following the passage of Hurricane Maria.
A first team of three persons from the organization arrived in Dominica on October 12 with 55 generators, Catherine Bouguer of Electricians Without Borders said on Thursday.
“We arrived with 55 generators, three kinds of generators: 1,000 k, 2,000 k, and 3,000 k,” she explained.
She stated that they will be installed in health centers and schools based on agreements with the government.
“We work with the government, the authorities and also with the United Nations, PAHO with the health centers and UNICEF with education,” she noted.
Bouguer stated that since the arrival of the team, 37 of the 55 generators have been installed.
“About 20 in the health centers, ten in primary schools, tomorrow (Friday) we will install a generator in the Goodwill Secondary School…” Bouguer said.
She stated that six generators have been installed in shelters across the island.
In the course of her presentation, she expressed gratitude to L’Express Des Îles for transporting the generators to Dominica.
Very very generous. A good practice is to keep an inventory system in place, and I’m quite sure you do. It will t prevent theft and vandalism it will surely help with recovery if stich events were to happen. Seriously.
Correction: It wont prevent
Thank you for responding to our call
There is no mention here of Domlec, which is a commercial enterprise, responsible to its shareholders first. It is not a social service provider.
We must reflect on the sobering fact therefore that it may not b in their interest to make heavy investments in rebuilding their network and restoring services to customers, who are left jobless, without income an unable to pay. Commercially, that would be a bad investment. I know government does not like us to talk about such things but this is the reality we must face.
One Luv!!!!
Another positive contribution to our redevelopment process. Thank you and God Bless
Great job. Well done
Thank you! Let’s hope they maintain them and especially check the lubricating oil regularly.
