Responding to a request for assistance from the Deputy Prime Minister and Executive Director of the Port Authority, we have this morning deployed a Response Team to the Bahamas.
Over the next two weeks our 5 volunteers will donate their energy and professional skills to what is clearly going to be a huge recovery operation across Grand Bahamas and the Abaco Islands, following Hurricane Dorian.
DART would like to thank their sponsors Stein Products Limited, Makita UK, the Arboricultural Association and numerous other supporters and personal donors who make the work of this unique Charity possible.
