The Better Hope/La Bonne Intention Neigh-bourhood Democratic Council (NDC) will be assisting the family whose home collapsed on Friday and left a young girl dead and her brother hospitalised.
Amber Richards, 12, of Canal Number One, West Bank Demerara, was said to have been swinging in a hammock under the wooden stilt house at Lot 371 La Bonne Intention when it fell. She was pinned under the collapsed structure for almost an hour. Her brother, Joshua Richards, eight, who suffered injuries to one of his legs and his neck, was admitted at the Georgetown Public Hospital. His condition was listed as stable yesterday.
Meanwhile, a team, comprising NDC Chairman Zaman Shaw, acting Regional Chairman Earle Lambert, Minister of Communities Ronald Bulkan and other officials visited the family yesterday morning.
