A group of big-hearted volunteers took to the streets of Five Cays to help with the clear-up effort following Hurricane Irene. Interhealth doctors, nurses, facilities and administration staff gave up their weekend to volunteer with the TCI Red Cross on Providenciales. The group headed to Five Cays to access damage to people’s homes and hand out aid where needed and offer medical advice. The team distributed Red Cross donated tarpaulin, water, food and blankets to those in need. “Having got through the hurricane unscathed, I think many of us just wanted to help those less fortunate than ourselves,” said Interhealth Canada’s Engineering Assistant Stephen McDonnell. “Doing volunteer work for the Red Cross was just one small way we could assist, and I think we were all very humbled by what we saw.” “People’s lives have been turned upside down by Hurricane Irene, and it certainly makes you appreciate what you have.
