The CARICOM Youth Ambassadors (CYAs) have launched a two-month ‘I am CARICOM’ drive to raise money for storm-affected Dominica.
“This drive has been named ‘I am CARICOM’ as we declare as one single Caribbean Community to be each other’s keeper,” the CYA said in a release.
“The pain and suffering caused by the occurrence of this natural disaster continues to ache the hearts of the members of our Caribbean Community. The role of this community is to help our sister island restore her brokenness and to give her a sense of hope in such trying times,” it added.
Tropical Storm Erika hit Dominica last week, leaving more than 24 dead and causing widespread damage to the country’s infrastructure. The government has declared nine special disaster areas.
