Those were the words used by Amalgamated Security Services Limited (ASSL), to describe the company’s donation of $500,000.00 to the flood relief efforts for affected communities and citizens in Trinidad and Tobago.
“We started by handing out instant cash donations to those of our officers who were affected the most. We then rented a boat to move Ambulance Personnel from South to Port of Spain so that we could guarantee our Ambulance Services would be fully functional at a time where it was highly likely for those services to be needed. When the full extent and enormity of this disaster began to show, we started buying and providing truckloads of flood relief items to the general population: wet vacuum cleaners; shovels; gloves; rubber boots; first aid kits; cooked food as well as non-perishable food items; milk; cleaning materials; toiletries; mattresses; clothes; school supplies. For the last couple of days and around the clock, many of our employees volunteered to assist and still are assisting in the distribution of those items to various regional corporations and relief centres as well as directly to persons in affected areas, with the hope of bringing relief to hundreds of our fellow citizens. This corporate effort would not have been possible without the support and contributions of Amalgamated Security’s employees at all levels.”
ASSL also is paying for a cleaning crew “who are going from door to door to assist persons in cleaning up their flooded houses. The company would like to further thank the many of its employees who simply saw other persons in need and started to cook food for them and helped them in their homes.”
Executive, Management and Staff of Amalgamated Security would also like to expressively acknowledge the unwavering dedication of its Officers to their jobs in daring circumstances like the ones our Nation experiences right now. “The Officers came out despite many challenges to fulfil their duties and protect ASSL’s clients and their assets, thereby contributing to the overall safety and security of communities and in extension our whole country. We thank the Officers for their devotion and professionalism”.
