Volcano Episode 1: Impacts of La Soufriere Eruptions on Barbados with Stacey Alvarez

To see videos and pictures head to our youtube channel and watch the interview there: https://youtu.be/bOfXRGUunBo         

Our guest today is Stacey Alvarez, a digital sales manager, legal  assistant, educational consultant and Island Innovation Ambassador from  Barbados. Her island was and is heavily affected by the ash cloud from  the recent eruptions of La Soufriere in St. Vincent. She tells us about  the weekend when the island was wrapped in darkness and about the  effects the ash has on people’s health and their daily lives. We  accompanied the interview with videos and photos from the region to  paint a clearer picture.

The impact of the volcanic eruption is of course felt much harder on  St. Vincent and we touch on what is happening there as well. We will  cover this in more detail in our next bonus episode. If you would like  to support the people of St. Vincent then Stacey suggests to support  grassroots NGOs as well as Government organizations. [recorded  13.04.2021]
