BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Dec 31, 2013 – LIAT – The Caribbean Airline is working with the Barbados Red Cross Society to send cases of canned goods, bottled water, baby pampers, milk, formula and cereal, toiletries and other needed emergency supplies to the people affected by severe flooding in St. Lucia last week.
“Whatever it takes, we will do it to get urgent relief to our brothers and sisters in St. Lucia,” stated Jean Holder, Chairman of the Board of Directors of LIAT, who has asked airline staff to help provide emergency assistance for those afflicted in Dominica, St. Lucia and St. Vincent.
Director General of the Barbados Red Cross Society Edmond Bradshaw said his organisation is “very grateful for the support of LIAT, its chairman and staff for the excellent support they have given us to help the victims of the floods in St. Lucia.”
He added: “LIAT has always exhibited goodwill to the Red Cross and to the people of the Caribbean and we compliment them on another valiant effort to help those affected in St. Lucia.”
LIAT’s airlift went out Monday with more to follow as the Red Cross advises.
i love liat so much
Now that Liat’s peak season is coming to an end, they should give a little more excess baggage to Dominicans who are coming in to bring stuff to storn affected families. Do it for atleast 3weeks to ease up the pressure on those who lost everything.
Thumbs up to you LIAT
Dominica gave LIAT eight millions dollars, shouldn’t Liat consider us before anybody else, maghua sa.
get allu fax straight dominica promised 8 million but has not deliver on its 8 million dollar promise.it has only given a fraction of that so far.
liat dont need to give no excess bgge for dominicans.they too ungratefull. thats the same liat some of you cant wait to see bankrupt
Why does Skeritt always make promises he cannot keep, like all those jobs.
