“So basically what has happened is that due to the COVID situation a lot of these islanders are out of work and once again with the help of Captain Cook Cruises we have decided that we will put groceries and food items and take them to the islands.”

He says the supplies were distributed through the Captain Cook Cruises’ catamaran.

Singh adds they plan to assist more families in the Mamanucas.
