Newsday Desperadoes in Haiti relief drive Monday, December 5 2016 |
The members of Desperadoes Steel Orchestra will today begin packing a container with supplies to be sent to Haiti, and are also mobilising to assist in the recovery of Matelot.
Secretary of the steel orchestra Havilanna Davidson told Newsday that it has partnered with the El Dorado East Lions Club which also gave substantial contributions.
Yesterday members of the club dropped off several bags of rice, peas and other supplies at Desperadoes headquarters on Frederick Street, Port-of-Spain.
Since the drive began a few weeks ago, Davidson said that Desperadoes has been making its own contributions and members of the public have begun donating.
Donations include canned foods, water, toiletries, baby stuff, and clothing mainly for women and children.
The response for help for Haiti, she said, has been overwhelming.
