A number of volunteers who gave much personal service in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, which devastated Anguilla on September 6, 2017, were awarded at the Mount Fortune Seventh-day Adventist Church on May 19.
Mrs. Maria Webster, who heads the Anguilla branch of the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), spoke about the assistance her local committee members received from the following volunteers:
Worrell Brooks, Nathaniel Bryan, Kenrick Lake, P. Gumbs, Joan Duncan, Jasmine Smith, Nigel Connor, Dallen Connor, Marvin Connor, Ricardo Gunbs, Maxwell Hodge, Winston Duncan, Filmore Browne, Julian Florang, Kaseem Forde and Calvin Andre Samuel. A representative group accepted the awards and gift baskets. Mr. Samuel, who heads the Environmental Department, spoke on behalf of the recipients many of whom were not present, and thanked the ADRA committee members for recognising them.
The other recipient, Wilmoth Ruan, a member of the SDA Mount Fortune Church, was awarded by Boyston Webster, head of the Church Building Committee, for his voluntary assistance following the hurricane.
