The UWI Women’s Cricket Club (UWI WCC) has joined the regional university’s call to “Rally Round” Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to provide relief for those affected by the La Soufrière volcanic eruptions.
“We stand with the people of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines,” said team coach Stephanie Power, “especially our Vincentian counterparts in sport, and we remain committed to assisting in any way that we can. Club members donated cases of bottled water, non-perishable food items, household, cleaning, and personal care items.”
Since the explosive eruption of the volcano began in early April, many citizens have been displaced from their homes and are residing in shelters and other forms of temporary housing. Coach Powers said that some of those affected are members of the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Under-19 National Women’s Cricket Team.
The shipment left Trinidad and Tobago on April 21. The UWI St Augustine, together with its regional campuses, continues its relief efforts to support the citizens of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines during its time of need. UWI WCC operates under the St Augustine Academy of Sport, Faculty of Sport at The University of the West Indies.
