A telethon in St Lucia has raised EC$2.5 million for the fight against Covid-19.
After the telethon on Sunday, Prime Minister Allen Chastanet in a Facebook post stated: “On behalf of all our Covid-19 front-line soldiers and the vulnerable in our society, who will benefit from the National Meals Programme, I say a sincere THANK YOU to each and every individual, business, group, investor and friends of Saint Lucia, who contributed to the success of today’s Covid-19 Response Telethon. So far, your assistance has helped raise EC$2.5 million and counting (the calls keep coming in).”
The telethon sought to raise funds to support workers on the front-liners, such as doctors, nurses, and law enforcement officials, the vulnerable in society.
