GBTI makes donation to CDC towards hurricane relief effort

The Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry Limited (GBTI) has donated towards the ongoing hurricane relief effort. On Friday the donation was made to the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) at the banking facility’s corporate office in Kingston, Georgetown.

Handing over the donation on behalf of the Bank was Chairman of the Board, Robin Stoby S.C., who noted that the Bank recognises the need for a collaborative effort in helping those countries that were ravaged by the recent spate of hurricanes: Irma, Jose and Maria.
He highlighted that the financial institution has always been an entity that lends a helping hand in times like these, especially when assistance is most needed. He expressed optimism that the Bank’s donation would go a long way in bringing much needed relief to those affected.
Also representing GBTI was Director Edward Beharry, who expressed sentiments that were similar to the Chairman’s.
Receiving the donation was Colonel (Ret’d) Chabilall Ramsarup, Director General of the Civil Defence Commission, who expressed gratitude to the GBTI for coming on board and assisting in bringing relief to the islands that have been devastatingly affected.
GBTI sees this donation as a way of exemplifying its corporate social responsibility, which can benefit thousands of affected fellow Caribbean citizens.
