The Central Demerara Lions Club has been recognising and awarding top performers for some 20 years and according to its President, Dwarka Singh, this year was no different.
He explained that the bursary award has become one of the organisation’s signature projects; one that is aimed at fostering and building relations with the community especially youths.
“These students are entering a new chapter in their lives and we just wanted to make a contribution to help them start this journey so that they can continue to excel in their academics,” Singh stated.
