During an NGO Emergency Shelter Coordination meeting, K1 DIRECT received a heartfelt round of applause for their hard work and efforts of locating new shelters. It was amazing to witness K1 DIRECT be recognized in a room full of international NGOs.

The team in Freeport, Grand Bahama continued to make packages for households around the island via NEMA-Bahamas.
