#EyeOnMelissa: Romeich, Guild et al provide storm essentials for UWI students

As Hurricane Melissa looms over Jamaica, students at the University of the West Indies (UWI) Mona Campus who are staying on-site during the storm have been equipped with essential supplies. On Sunday, a collaborative effort by the Bellbaten Foundation, Fyahman Entertainment, The UWI Mona Guild, and Romeich Entertainment ensured that students received critical items such as canned meats, fish, toiletries, snacks, and bottled water. A representative from the UWI Mona Guild emphasized the initiative’s importance, stating, ‘We partnered to ensure that students who cannot return home are fully supported during this challenging period. We visited all campus halls to distribute the products.’ Students were seen posing with trays of Ramen, cup noodles, and cases of bottled water as the nation braces for the hurricane, which is predicted to bring intense rainfall, storm surges, and landslides. The collective effort highlights the community’s commitment to safeguarding students during this natural disaster.
