Grenadian Airport Workers Send Cash Aid to Hurricane-Hit Cuba

HAVANA, Cuba, Oct 20 (acn) Representatives from the Management and Staff of the Grenada Airports Authority handed over a donation check in the amount of EC$16,388.53 to Cuban Ambassador Margarita Delgado during a ceremony held at Point Salines Intl. Airport last week. This donation represents funds collected during a fundraising activity organized at Point Salines Intl Airport’s grounds to contribute to ongoing recovery efforts in 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, in accepting the contribution, expressed her gratitude for such gesture and reassured the continued support and collaboration of Cuba towards the Government and people of Grenada, despite all difficulties.
