Dear Editor,
I notice that no mention was made about the private sector’s contribution to the people of Grenada during Hurricane Ivan in 2004 in an article published on Friday, September 12 in Stabroek News captioned ‘Guyana recognized by Grenada for Hurricane Ivan help.’ It was this organization which spearheaded the relief effort and persuaded the Government of Guyana to contribute and support the shipment of over 40 containers to the island. I am, however, happy to read of the gratitude expressed to the Guyanese people who made this possible. A team from the private sector as well as a journalist from Stabroek News visited the island during the immediate aftermath and we were able to highlight the needed assistance to rebuild. I was proud to have been a member of the team.
Yours faithfully,
Doreen de Caires
