ST. GEORGE’S Grenada: Secretary General Miguel Insulza presented Grenada’s Permanent Representative Ambassador Denis Antoine with a check that represents a contribution from the Organization of American States (OAS) to assist the country in its recovery efforts following the damages sustained last month during the passage of hurricane Emily. During the brief ceremony at OAS headquarters, Secretary General Insulza commented on the devastation that hurricanes pose to the region and on the importance of cooperation to tackle this natural phenomenon. Noting that while the OAS contribution is relatively small -- given the great needs of the people -- it is an important expression of the Organization’s solidarity with the people and government of Grenada in their relief efforts, Insulza stressed. In accepting the check, Ambassador Antoine thanked both Secretary General Insulza and Assistant Secretary General Albert Ramdin for their efforts and for the contribution, assuring them that “every bit helps and that the government and people of Grenada are indeed thankful.” Reprinted from Caribbean Net News caribbeannetnews.com
