$100K IN TOOLS FOR VENEZUELA

$100,000 worth of 'emergency and rescue' equipment is being sent to Venezuela, donated by two south-based businesses.

In collaboration with NGO SEWA International TT, Persad’s D Food King and Selina’s Marketing in Barrackpore have pooled resources to make the donation.

The trio says a lot of thought and planning went into deciding what was needed and what was relevant to the country’s needs following devastating double earthquakes last week.
