Dub City Session Raises Funds for Hurricane Melissa Victims
16 Nov
Summary
- Dub City session on 28 November to fundraise for Hurricane Melissa victims
- Storm destroyed buildings, power lines, and left people stranded in Jamaica, Haiti, and Cuba
- Barrels placed around Wolverhampton to collect non-perishable items for affected countries
In the aftermath of the devastating Hurricane Melissa that struck Jamaica, Haiti, and Cuba at the end of October, a charity music event has been organized to raise funds for the affected communities. The Dub City session, taking place on 28 November at the Ambika Paul building on the University of Wolverhampton's city campus, will see all profits going towards the Government of Jamaica's relief fund.
The category five storm left over 30 people dead and caused widespread destruction, including the collapse of buildings, power lines, and the flooding of communities. Many were left stranded without access to food or water. In response, organizers Exodus Movement have placed barrels around Wolverhampton's student union to collect non-perishable items and bedding to be sent to the impacted countries.
The Dub City session aims to provide much-needed support to the hurricane's victims through the power of music and community engagement. As the region continues to recover from the disaster, this fundraising event offers a glimmer of hope and solidarity for those affected by Hurricane Melissa's wrath.
