NEMA applauds generosity of popular local influencer

St Kitts and Nevis: NDC Abdias Samuel has commended the efforts of EK, popular local entertainer, for organising a Food Donation Drive to benefit persons who are presently living in isolation or quarantine in response to COVID19.

NDC Samuel remained on-site at the agency on Friday, June 18th way after hours to receive the food and other items destined for persons who are challenged with caring for themselves and their families as a result of the impact of the Coronavirus.

Yesterday EK was observed on social media as he conducted a round-robin pickup drive giving persons the opportunity to uplift the local community through their contributions.

NDC Samuel said that EK's selfless actions represent everything that is good in our society today.

"During unusual circumstances and suffering, when differing perspectives are put on blast, we sometimes overlook interventions of light," he said. "EK has brought the light by putting his money where his mouth is throughout this socially conscious endeavour and to him we say well done Team, may God richly bless you." Persons who are in Isolation, quarantine or who have been impacted by the economic challenges of the pandemic may call NEMA (466-5100), EK himself or Social Development and Gender Affairs to receive a package. A heartfelt thank you is extended to EK and his donors, from the management, staff and affiliates of the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA.
