NASSAU, Bahamas — In response to the devastation in the Southern Bahamas from Hurricane Joaquin, Lyford Cay Foundation,
Inc. has pledged up to $100,000 to the relief efforts.
As
it has done in the past with similar disasters that have affected The
Bahamas, the Foundation will provide both short term emergency relief to
assist with the wide-spread damage
and immediate needs of those affected, as well as broader, long-term
assistance.
Aligned
with its mission to support learning opportunities for Bahamians, the
Foundation will utilize its grants program in the months to come to
assist with rebuilding the lives
of children in the affected areas, their education and the
normalisation of schools. The Foundation’s goal with these grants is to
help ensure that children throughout the country will be able to
continue their education during this rebuilding period.
“At
the Foundation we appreciate that recovery from the effects of
Hurricane Joaquin will be a complex, ongoing process.
However, by coming together as a caring community, we will work to
assist those in need,” said Basil P. Goulandris, Chairman of Lyford Cay
Foundation.
