The presentation was made by Captain Rommel Fernandez of Venezuela to Prime Minister Dr. the Rt. Hon. Keith Mitchell. Captain Fernandez said the Government of Venezuela is happy to be of more assistance to the people of Grenada in this time of crisis. Prime Minister Mitchell expressed thanks to the Government of Venezuela for the "generous" donation and other forms of assistance the Venezuelan Government has provided. Prime Minister noted that whilst there has been a lot of support for the rebuilding of schools there is still need for material for covering. The Prime Minister stated that the galvanize would be used for schools, other public buildings and homes for the more marginalized in the society. Recently the Venezuelan Housing Programme was launched. Under this programme over 130 homes would be constructed. The Government of Venezuela has given tremendous assistance to the people of Grenada after the passage of Hurricane Ivan. In addition to the relief and medical supplies teams of Venezuelans cleaned and cleared streets and building throughout Grenada.
