support while they ramp down the program. A key aspect of this long-term support, above the roofing and home repairs, is the provision of maintenance manuals. These manuals provide a detailed guide customized to each homeowner for preventative maintenance that will ensure its longevity. It’s a bitter-sweet moment as we close The Bahamas Hurricane Dorian Relief Program after over two years of working on Great Abaco. We are grateful to the community, our generous partners, volunteers, and staff who have dedicated their time, funds and resources to this community.

Stories from the Ground Our dedicated Community Coordinator, Lakesha, has brought a beautiful energy to this program. She continuously looks for ways to connect our All Hands and Hearts teams with her Abaco community. She has done an excellent job of enriching the lives of international staff and volunteers and the local community.

“The people I have worked with are beyond amazing as they are focused, determined and actual leaders, who always make time to teach or explain something. It felt purposeful to be a part of this team. I learnt that communication and planning with a bit of fun makes life slightly better which still gets the task completed.”
