 In an effort to offer relief to those devastated by the Haiti Earthquake, First Lady Joann Camacho together with George Lai, President of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Guam (CCCG) and its members presented a check totaling $25,900 to the Guam Chapter of the American Red Cross to be used to assist the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.
“I am humbled by the outpouring of support from our island community to aid the people of Haiti," said First Lady Camacho. "I especially thank the men and women of the Guam Fire Department, Guam Airport Police, Customs & Quarantine Agency and the Dept. of Homeland Security/Civil Defense for their tireless efforts during the Boot Drive. We successfully raised these funds together."
This week the Offices of the Governor and First Lady of Guam, and its contributing local government offices collaborated together in a Boot Drive at the intersections of Chief Quipuha Loop in Hagatña, and the ITC intersection in Tamuning and collected $8,888 worth of donations from the public. The remaining contributions were received from the dedicated members of the CCCG. |
