GBPA Launches Independent Fundraising Arm to FUND Dorian Relief Efforts on Grand Bahama
New
Providence, Bahamas – In the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian scores
governmental and non-government agencies have begun the work of
rebuilding the country’s most northern islands. On Grand Bahama Island,
the Grand Bahama Port Authority (GBPA), under its mandate as a
quasi-governmental agency, has begun spearheading these efforts to bring
relief to, and provide refuge for, the thousands of residents displaced
by the storm.
“What
we have seen thus far is truly an outpouring of concern for the people
of Grand Bahama, and it is our intention to ensure that all of that aid
is being distributed in ways that it can provide the most impact for
those affected,” said Rupert Hayward Executive Director of the Grand
Bahama Port Authority.
