Chennai: The city of San Antonio, Texas, donated USD 10,000 to Chennai for Covid-19 relief as a gesture of solidarity with its sister city.
Members of the Rotary Club of San Antonio donated USD 5,000 to the Rotary Club of Madras East as a token of the sister cityās support during this unprecedented time.
Anuja SA, a non-profit organisation created to promote the Sister City alliance between San Antonio and Chennai, donated USD 5,000 to double the total donation to USD 10,000, a release from US Consulate here said today.
US Consul General Judith Ravin said, “It is wonderful to witness two global communities come together through the Sister Cities program in times of need.”
“While the global pandemic continues to cause uncertainty, it is precisely in these times that we are reminded we are all in this together,” she said.
