THE Bahamas Agriculture and Marine Science Institute (BAMSI) has donated 30 cases of bananas to local charities across New Providence to help those who experienced the devastating effects of Hurricane Matthew.

Alaasis Braynen, BAMSI’s general manager, said in the wake of the category four storm which left many Bahamians struggling to put the pieces of their lives back together, BAMSI moved to quickly support the communities it serves.

The agriculture-based institute wanted to respond to the call for action in the best way it could: feeding those in need with healthy food, locally grown. Among the agencies that received bananas were the Ranfurly Homes for Children and Great Commission Ministries International.
