Handover of funds

Hurricane Relief Fundraising

Representatives from the Management and Staff of the Grenada Airports Authority at a ceremony held at Point Salines Intl. Airport on Thursday, October 17, 2008, handed over to the Cuban Ambassador, H.E. Mrs. Margarita Delgado, a donation cheque in the amount of EC$16,388.53.

This donation represents funds collected during the fundraising activity organized at Point Salines Intl Airport’s grounds in aid of the neighboring Island of Cuba, which was severely devastated by hurricanes Gustav and Ike. Recognizing the gravity of the situation and tremendous contribution the People and Government of Cuba have made towards Grenada, especially during the construction of the Point Salines International Airport, the Airports Authority saw it fitting to embark upon this event.

The Airports Authority thanked all the members of staff, organizations and individuals who contributed in one way or the other in making this event a resounding success.

The Cuban Ambassador, Mrs. Margarita Delgado in accepting the contribution, expressed her gratitude for such gesture and reassured the continued support and collaboration of the Republic of Cuba towards the Government and People of Grenada, despite the difficulties encountered by Cuba.
