Hurricane Irma has ravaged the Caribbean island of St Maarten  

A classic tale of brotherhood seems to be brewing in the Caribbean islands, ravaged by Hurricane Irma, with the Indian community from St Kitts reaching out to help the 1,500-odd Indians, stranded on the island of St Maarten. The Indian community of St Kitts and the Indian Merchants Association (IMA) has managed to pool in $50,000 (R31.93 lakh approx) to pay a vessel to rescue the stranded Indians from St Maarten today.
