At 9 am we met at the harbor for a debriefing with all the volunteers. It was decided we would send one team to do much needed food distribution to the vulnerable homes that we have been taking care of who were running out of supplies. The homes we delivered today were the White and Yellow Cross Care Foundation, New Start Foster Home, Mental Health Foundation Sint Maarten and the St. Maarten Medical Center. They visited different locations to find out exactly which supplies they were low on and then went to where we have the food stored in order to gather the right supplies for each home in need before returning to the locations to deliver.

The rest of our volunteers worked together to load water into the designated trucks together with the Koninklijke Marine and the Dutch Caribbean Coast Guard. Our convoy went to the first designated water distribution point in Middle Region and worked to distribute water to all those that were waiting.

We then moved to Pond Fill by Air Lekkerbek to set up the distribution point and give out the allocated water to those in the neighborhood. When we came back to Pond Fill by Air Lekkerbek, the food distribution trucks had arrived and our The K1 Britannia Foundation volunteers worked alongside the Koninklijke Marine, Coast Guard and the Samaritan’s Purse volunteers to distribute food and additional water to the residents in the area.

In the evening we met with the heads of the organizations for government distribution of supplies on the island to discuss how the distributions went and make plans for the next day.
