Digicel Guyana is donating $ 2M towards St. Vincent, which was plundered by a volcano

Digicel Guyana has pumped $ 2 million toward Guyana relief support for the island nation of St Vincent and the Grenadines following the devastation caused by the La Soufrière volcanic eruptions.
The donation was recently transferred to the Civil Defense Commission (CDC).
Thousands of people have been evacuated from the red zone and housed in shelters, as a result of ash falling from the La Soufrière explosive blasts. These eruptions have affected the whole island and the situation remains difficult for residents.
In a media release, Digicel pledged to work with the Government of Guyana on national and regional crises and praised the CDC for managing the relief efforts.
“We are confident that our gift will be put to good use in meeting some of the immediate needs of the people of Vincent and the Grenadines. Simone Pierre, Head of Commercial, said in transition. “Digicel is honored to be part of this collaborative effort initiated by the CDC to provide relief to the people of St Vincent and the Grenadines. We would like the Vincentians to know that our hearts and prayers are with them during these difficult times. “
Further, Digicel Group donated US $ 500,000 worth of much needed items to the Government of St Vincent & the Grenadines last week.
“With our priorities helping to keep people safe and in touch, at times like these it is our natural instinct to want to do everything we can to help. As a company, as a team and as a Digicel family, we are here for the people of St Vincent and the Grenadines and ready to help in a meaningful way, ”noted Digicel Group Chairman Denis O’Brien.
