The Turks and Caicos Cabinet has agreed to give a donation of US$100,000 in relief to Dominica.
The monies will come from the country’s Contingency Fund.
The decision was made last week during a Cabinet meeting and follows the devastation caused by Tropical Storm Erika.
“Dominica has suffered greatly as a result of the passing of TS Erika and countries everywhere, who are in a position to do so should assist where possible to help to meet the needs of the displaced and to assist in restoring their lives to normalcy,” said Turks and Caicos Premier Rufus Ewing. “I am pleased that we are in a position to assist financially and while the grant is but a dent in the estimated value of damages, we know from the devastation of Hurricane Ike in 2008 that every little bit helps. We will keep Dominica in our prayers.”
The Turks and Caicos Island Contingency Fund is a reserve source account “intended for emergency send such as this,” the government said in a statement.
Thank you Premier Ewing for your compassion, consideration and generosity.
God bless you and your cabinet, country and nationals.
Thank you Turks and Caicos. May the Lord bless you and its people so that you can continue to prosper and give more.
