KINGSTON, Jamaica— The Ministry of Local Government says it has opened a bank account to receive donations in assistance of St Vincent, which is now being battered by the erupting La Soufriere volcano.
“Our Government has been in contact with the Government of St Vincent and the Grenadines, and we are organizing logistical and other forms of support to our brothers and sisters there. We are also fully aware that this devastating event has evoked great concern from our corporate and general citizenry,” Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Desmond McKenzie, said in a release today.
