Last Saturday, representatives of the Indian Arrival Committee (IAC) visited residents affected by the current intense rainfall in the Mahaicony and Mahaica Creeks.
Neaz Subhan, Raymond Azeez, Evan Persaud and Felicia Persaud, representing the IAC, accompanied by Shri Prakash Gossai, Personal Assistant to President Jagdeo, and volunteers, distributed food hampers, potable water and sanitising supplies to residents of Gordon Table, Pine Ground and First Savannah in the Mahaicony Creek; and Big Biaboo and Grass Hook in the Mahaica Creek.
A spokesperson for the IAC said that the inconvenience experienced by the residents as a result of the heavy rainfall is linked to climate change, which is adversely affecting countries worldwide.

The visitors said that they recognise the efforts of the Government, the Civil Defence Commission (CDC), the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority (NDIA), and other agencies in their ongoing humanitarian work to provide assistance to those affected.
The IAC, which over the past four years has contributed regularly to relief efforts, especially in the Mahaica/Mahaicony/Abary area, said that it is pleased to be reaching out and rendering assistance to persons in affected areas.
