Support for our islanders

Dear Readers

By now you are all familiar with the devastation and loss caued by Hurricanes Irma, Maria and Jose among several islands in the Caribbean. Friends and fellow agriyouth from Antigua and Barbuda, St. Lucia and the Bahamas all where hard it.

Tech4gri team members, Andre Huie of Voice of the Caribbean Radio and Mitchel John of Agroguede Backyard Gardening were hit hard, in particular in D0minica where Mitchel resides.

Andre and his family are well. However we have not been able to reach Mitchel.

Just recently we have been informed he is ok via another Dominican colleague

Rather than post more images of the destruction and the loss, we at Tech4agri choose to remember our first physical meeting with Mitchel in Barbados, after having worked with Tech4agri remotely for a year.

As you can see above our mutual passion for media read well on camera.

He like so many other agriyouth have a bright future to look forward to. However they must rebuild and it is our duty as fellow islanders to assist.

There are many avenues in which you can donate to bring much needed support.

Stay Dedicated!
