Today we dropped off the aid that is going to be shipped to Jamaica via JP Logistics, London. After reviewing the items to comply with the requests from the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM) of the Jamaican government, we were able to deliver the equivalent of roughly 1 cu. metre of assorted goods, including food, sanitation and hygiene products, water, batteries, torches etc. All pallets will be shipped in the coming days, and will be delivered to the att. of Mr Richard Thompson, Director General of ODPEM.
ACRG wish to thank again the Cambridge community for all the help and support they provided in collecting the goods, which we are sure will be greatly appreciated by the recipients in Jamaica. Help is still very much needed to rebuild and repair the damages the hurricane caused, so if you can please donate to the dedicated fund set up by the Red Cross: https://donate.redcrossredcrescent.org/ifrc/hurricane-melissa/~my-donation?_cv=1
