Haigh Communications collaborated with Innotech Services Ltd to provide the Barbados Defence Force (BDF) with 200 cases of bottled water to be distributed to people working with Operation Seek and Save and other programmes.
During the presentation on Sunday, group chairman Anthony Da Silva said the donation was made as Barbados was facing a difficult time and they wanted to assist those working to save lives. He also encouraged other corporate entities to assist.
This shows Haigh Communications ability to connect relevant parties for the greater good of society and the snowball effect that arises from starting these initiatives
Lieutenant Colonel Junior Browne expressed gratitude and said some of the bottled water would be given to personnel in other BDF programmes, such as the delivery of care packages.
The nation’s Seek and Save initiative and the Barbados Defence Force will be kept watered in the coming days as they continue their fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Close to 5000 bottles of Bajan Pure water were donated by the Innotech group of companies as they urged other members of corporate Barbados to help in any way they can to bolster the national response. Here, the Chairman of the group Anthony DaSilva, Lt. Col. Junior Browne and Corporal David Reeves assist in loading the cases earlier today.
A fight we are all in together. This is how the Chairman of the Innotech Group, Anthony Da Silva, described the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Sunday Da Silva’s company donated 200 cases of water to members of the Barbados Defence Force (BDF) towards their Seek and Save campaign.
Da Silva acknowledged that though times were hard for several businesses on the island, this was the time to give back in a meaningful way to aid in the fight against the virus.
“This is a challenging time for Barbados. Barbadian companies have been stretched, there are no two ways about it. But surely we can do more as corporate Barbados, and we ought to assist more where we can. Everyone can’t do the same amount, everyone can’t do the same efforts, but surely there is something everyone can do to assist this national effort because that is what it is. This is a fight we are all in together,” he said.
Haigh Communications Inc. facilitated the team-up between Innotech and the BDF.
Lt Col Junior Browne graciously thanked Da Saliva for the donation and said the BDF remains committed to the task of not only assisting in the current Seek and Save campaign, but also other activities directed at bolstering the island’s response to the COVID-19 fight.
“We do need the support of all of Barbados as we carry out our duties, and not only from a security perspective as we usually do, but you would have seen over the past year, that we have been actively involved in the military assistance to the civil ministry, in terms of our assistance to the Ministry of Health and Wellness in this COVID-19 fight,” he said.
