Story
The Event
We have organised this relief giving fundraising dance party as a response to a national emergency in St Vincent as a result of the continuing eruptions of La Soufrière Volcano.
The Background - Why?
Approximately 17,000 citizens of St Vincent have been evacuated from their homes and are living in makeshift shelters and some are being transported off St Vincent to other neighbouring islands. In some parts of the island electricity is off, and the water supplies non-existent as the water is contaminated by ash. Fortunately due to an effective evacuation plan casualties have been very few to date. However, the situation from an economic and social point of view is potentially catastrophic in the weeks and months ahead.
The Mustique Charitable Trust is working hard to help the situation in St Vincent in multiple ways: whether through delivery of much needed emergency supplies; medical supplies, such as nebulisers and asthma inhalers; fresh water; clothes and meals. We can only do this with the support of our friends.
What is the event?
We’re having a Good Grief Groove Fundraising Dance Party on Sunday 25 April 2021 - 7- 9 pm UK London time 2-4 pm New York.
It’s an opportunity to provide some practical funds and support to St Vincent whilst releasing the pent up emotion and frustration of not being able to travel, connect and meet in person with others.
Let’s dance, support one another and do something good for our wider global family in the Caribbean.
