East Caribbean-Southeast Asia Economic Cultural Chamber sympathies with Hurricane ravaged countries9/15/2017 The Eastern Caribbean-Southeast Asia Economic Cultural Chamber sent out their sympathies to Hurricane Irma ravaged Caribbean countries. A release stated, on behalf of our inter-regional organization, the Eastern Caribbean-Southeast Asia Economic and Cultural Chamber, we sincerely convey and extend our heartfelt sympathies as Hurricane Irma overwhelmed many islands in the Caribbean region, causing extensive property damages and loss of life.
With the disastrous aftermath, the Chamber has been deeply concerned for one of its stakeholders, Antigua & Barbuda, as it left the island of Barbuda essentially uninhabitable. In this regard, the Chamber is poised to allocate some of the proceeds of its events in the near future in support of the victims, and the hopeful rehabilitation of the island. During a recent events planning session, the Chamber’s management team set a target goal of raising EC$ 27,000, for direct donation to Barbudans affected in this recent calamity. Headlining the Chamber’s upcoming activities in Southeast Asia is “The Luxe Life: A Visual Cruise of the Eastern Caribbean”, a three-day promotional event focused on tourism, trade relations and investment in the Eastern Caribbean region launching initially in December 2017, in an upscale mall in Manila, Philippines, and then reciprocated in Jakarta, Indonesia and Bangkok, and Thailand in 2018. Interested members and stakeholders wishing to participate in this activity should contact Chamber staff directly.
