For our friends and partners in the Abacos and Grand Bahama,
Our hearts go out to you, and we hope that by now you’ve had some contact with the outside world and provisions. We have been asked by others for ideas on how to help your recovery after the devastating damage caused by Hurricane Dorian.

From the entire AGRRA Team -Judy Lang, Philip Kramer, Ken Marks, Patricia Kramer, Shirley Gun and Lynnette Roth
