<div>The situation in Jamaica is absolutely disastrous since Hurricane Melissa razed the island to the ground. <strong>St Elizabeth</strong> is the <strong>most impacted parish</strong> where the hurricane had it's point of landfall. The coastal town <strong>Black River </strong>(the “ground zero”), has turned into complete wasteland with consequences we can’t even imagine. Most houses are uninhabitable, going out without a mask or protection gloves is impossible due to the smell and dirt, and on top of that, a lot of fighting and robbing because of this desperate situation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The locals want to warn us that there is <strong>no help from the government in the garrison</strong> at Black River what so ever! The poor people are left aside and organisations never reach the ghetto’s. Seems like a lot of the money goes into Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, … the tourist resorts.

<div>We, <strong>Sounds by Ital Brew (BE)</strong> and <strong>10.000 Lions (IN)</strong>, are active sound systems with a focus on justice, equality and reparations. We have worked together in the past to give back to the place where we all owe our passion, the beautiful island of Jamaica. We will work without organisation and <strong>donate straight to the people and families</strong> that need it the most. There is a constant communication with people going to the Black River garrison to provide as much help as possible. <strong>Power supplies, food and clothing</strong> are the main focus. You can find the priority list below.
</div>
<div>We want to be as transparant as possible so if there are any questions, remarks or comments, please let me know!
