HURRICANE RELIEF ASSISTANCE FOR JAMAICA!
We are well aware of the devastating consequences of Hurricane Melissa on our sisters and brothers in Jamaica. The Board of Social Responsibility ("BOSR") is making an urgent appeal for
contribution of items and financial donations to assist the affected countries. This project is being spearheaded by the SOS PCTT Committee of the BOSR.
Following are the ways by which you can contribute to the relief effort:
A. Monetary Donations
Sessions / Pastoral Regions, groups and individuals can make their monetary donations towards the hurricane relief fund in the following ways:
1. Via deposits made into the Synod's Account with a notation “BOSR Hurricane Relief Assistance Project" at:
Bank Name: RBC Royal Bank
Branch: High Street, San Fernando
Account Name: The Presbyterian Church of T&T Account Number: 100098110023868
Account type: Savings
For accounting purposes, please email/forward a copy of the deposit slip to:
• [email protected], and
• the Treasurer of BOSR, Mr. Gerard De Gannes at: [email protected]

2. Via online deposits through the PCTT’s website:
https://www.pctt.org.tt/product/bosr/
Please include the following as a note:
(i) the name of the donor, and
(ii) “For the BOSR Hurricane
Relief Assistance Project”. Your support will help us purchase water and essential supplies.

B. Relief Items
Donations of relief items are also welcome (please see the attached listing of suggested items).

Suggested logistical arrangements:
• Each Pastoral Region designate a collection point for these items.
• Regions liaise with their BOSR representative in the collection drive.

Please continue to keep in prayer all those who have been affected by this catastrophe during
this period of recovery and rebuilding.

The BOSR wishes to thank all Regions and Church Workers for their assistance and support as we strive to be our Brother and Sisters’ Keepers.
