HURRICANE RELIEF ASSISTANCE FOR JAMAICA!
We are well aware of the devastating consequences of Hurricane Melissa on our sisters and brothers in Jamaica. The Board of Social Responsibility ("BOSR") is making an urgent appeal for
contribution of items and financial donations to assist the affected countries. This project is being spearheaded by the SOS PCTT Committee of the BOSR.
Following are the ways by which you can contribute to the relief effort:
A. Monetary Donations
Sessions / Pastoral Regions, groups and individuals can make their monetary donations towards the hurricane relief fund in the following ways:
1. Via deposits made into the Synod's Account with a notation “BOSR Hurricane Relief Assistance Project" at:
Bank Name: RBC Royal Bank
Branch: High Street, San Fernando
Account Name: The Presbyterian Church of T&T Account Number: 100098110023868

https://www.pctt.org.tt/product/bosr/
Please include the following as a note:

Relief Assistance Project”. Your support will help us purchase water and essential supplies.

B. Relief Items
Donations of relief items are also welcome (please see the attached listing of suggested items).

Suggested logistical arrangements:
• Each Pastoral Region designate a collection point for these items.
• Regions liaise with their BOSR representative in the collection drive.

this period of recovery and rebuilding.

The BOSR wishes to thank all Regions and Church Workers for their assistance and support as we strive to be our Brother and Sisters’ Keepers.
