USVI: ST. THOMAS & ST. JOHN HURRICANE RECOVERY UPDATE (May 2019)
CURRENT ACTIVITIES (RESPONSE & RECOVERY) Volunteers on St. John and St. Thomas work hard to bring relief in the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria. We’re in the recovery phase and bringing lasting strength back to the islands. St. John ● All Hands and Hearts has now finished 11 complete home rebuilds on the island ● After learning the ACC (Animal Care Center) was in need of assistance repairing their shelter from storm damage, we offered our help. We will now be making appropriate repairs in the coming weeks. St. Thomas After 20 months on island, we have wrapped up our work on St. Thomas. We finished up with our final site, Alvin McBean Ballpark, and a celebration with our local partners, the final volunteers, and the community. We have had a chance to help over 6,300 people on this island and are proud to have donated over 117,000 volunteer hours. Huge thank you to our partners and all of the volunteers and staff that have lent a hand on this amazing program.
