The funds were collected, and equipment Cuba’s Ambassador to St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG), Carlos Ernesto Rodríguez Etcheverry conveyed his appreciation to all Vincentians who participated in this initiative. The funds were handed over to the Ambassador on Friday, May8, 2026 at the Embassy at Ratho Mill.
