When the Elected Councillors of the Falkland Islands, a UK Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic, many thousands of miles from Grenada, heard news of the devastation caused by Hurricane Ivan, they quickly sought to help, recognising the need of a fellow small Commonwealth country with limited resources. The Islands' Executive Council recommended to the Standing Finance Committee that they make a donation to help the international relief effort. The Committee readily agreed to donate the Islands' full Disaster Relief budget of £5,000 (approximately EC$25,225) to Grenada. They suggested that a stand-alone project be identified to which they could contribute, perhaps in the area of education. With the help of the Ministry of Education, we have identified the Community Library in St. John's Parish as a worthy project. The Library, intended to serve both pupils and teachers in all schools in the area, was nearing completion when Ivan the Terrible struck. The donation will help to restore the building, enabling it to open and serve the community. On behalf of the Falkland Islands Government, the Resident British Commissioner in Grenada, Mr Vic Wallis, presented the cheque to the Permanent Secretary Mr. Michael Pierre at a short ceremony at the Ministry of Education, in the Botanical Gardens at 8.30 a.m. on Tuesday, February 8.
