500TT School Grant for Children in 2-Aug FLOOD

[Tisha]

does anyone knows about the procedures going about getting this?

Apparently the Prime Minister said that she'll give every child that was affected by the flood the $500.00 school grant along with the replacement of their books, but no one seems to know about this statement...............and school is about to re-open

[goalpost]

so wait nah, once a school child lives in an area that experienced the flooding recently, he/she gets 500?? regardless of whether he/she lost school books? come nah man

i thought the treasury empty

In my related msg, it stated :EVERY CHILD THAT "WAS" AFFECTED BY THE FLOOD.................

[goalpost]

well right, doesn't that mean every child whose house did flood out? so what if a house with a school child had flood out but he/she didn't lose anything (school books or school supplies in general) to this flood? that child still getting $500.00? for what?
