A Hurricane
Emergency Relief Committee has been set up in Toronto
Canada
to co-ordinate the relief efforts of Jamaicans living there.
The committee, headed by Jamaica's Consul General to Canada, Ann-Marie Bonner, has opened up a bank account into which donations can be channeled.
Three other accounts have been opened in Montreal and Toronto to receive donations.
Persons can also send cheques payable to the Consul General of Jamaica with specific indications that it is to be directed to the Hurricane Dean recovery effort.
The consulate advises that cash donations are the fastest, most efficient way to reach people in the disaster zone.
In the meantime, the Jamaican High Commission in London has launched its own relief efforts.
High Commissioner to London Burchell Whiteman expressed sympathy for the Jamaican victims of the storm system and pledged the High Commission's best efforts in assisting the recovery process.
