Episode 42: SVG Relief (with Kimya Glasgow)
Episode 42: SVG Relief​For this week's episode I am joined once again by Vincentian designer Kimya Glasgow.  Unfortunately, this time we are not talking about fashion, but instead about La Soufriere Volcano. La Soufriere , though an active volcano, had been rather silent from 1979 to December of 2020, when an effusive eruption began.  On April 9th following a few days of increased activity an explosive eruption began. Join Kimya and me as we discuss the current conditions in SVG as well as what individuals can do to help. (Recorded: April 20th, 2021). Since that time, from April 22nd to today (May 1), the seismic activity has remained low but the alert level is still red. Added to this already critical situation, 2 days ago, following unusually heavy rainfall, the island was also faced with the fast moving rocks, ash, vegetation, and water (lahars) coming down from the volcano causing even more flooding, mudslides and infrastructure damages. Please visit this week’s show page for ways to help support relief efforts in SVG. www.yolanderobinson.com/svgrelief
