T&T FLOOD RELIEF - HOW TO HELP
"Giving is not about just making a donation, it's about making a difference" - Kathy Calvin
Dear valued PLOTTers, Friends and Partners,
We can all agree that the last 3 days have been heart-breaking, after watching videos on social media and hearing accounts from those affected. Please note that a Joint Chambers Flood Relief Action Group in collaboration with the Living Waters Community along with many others mobilised to answer the calls for help.
This message serves as an update from the Joint Chambers e-blast and our social media posts (via facebook and WhatsApp) on Saturday 20th October. Please see below for some of the ways we can all help to make a difference in the wake of this terrible natural disaster.
