COVID-19 Response Fund, Data Tracking, and Resources

Dear Nationals and Friends, 

How are you holding up? I hope that you are safe and in good health as we continue to follow stay-at-home orders still in place in many of our states.

I extend heartfelt sympathies to those of you who have lost loved ones to COVID-19 or any other illness, and continue to offer up prayers for those bravely battling the virus at home or in hospital.

As you can appreciate, implementing any new initiatives will begin with gathering much-needed information from you.

A number of you have contacted our office seeking advice and assistance. The staff and I are trying to find ways to ensure your needs are met and your concerns are addressed during this time of uncertainty. Others have provided us with suggestions. We have taken them on board and passed them on to the authorities in Grenada. As you can appreciate, implementing any new initiatives will begin with gathering much-needed information from you.

Additionally, I plan to meet with the executives of the various diaspora associations to further explore ways in which we can be of support to you. 

Let this pandemic bring out the best in us. Let us find ways to bless others during this crisis. Let us be thankful for the healthcare and other frontline workers. Remember, we are all in this together as we cautiously move ahead into what is sure to become our ‘new normal’.

Meanwhile, please continue to follow us on social media and visit the website for timely updates. We have addressed some of your frequently asked questions below and provided links to our current resources and initiatives.

Stay safe,
Ambassador Smith
