GLASS Group champions Breast Cancer Awareness Month with wellness, awareness & acts of kindness

In observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the GLASS Group of Companies demonstrated its ongoing commitment to health, community and compassion through a series of initiatives under the theme “Act Now, Live Strong”.

Throughout the month of October, employees across GLASS and Global Manpower & Training Inc (GMT) joined together to promote cancer awareness, early detection and support for individuals and families affected by the disease.
The campaign began with the symbolic gesture “Think Pink Fridays”, where employees proudly wore pink each week to show solidarity and raise awareness. On October 24, the company hosted an informative health awareness session at its Barrack Street office, featuring licensed medical practitioner Dr Angela Binda.
The session emphasised the importance of early screening for both breast and prostate cancer, as well as the benefits of adopting proactive health and wellness practices. As part of this event, employees received cancer screening vouchers and were encouraged to take a personal pledge through the “Pledge to Check” booklet, aimed at inspiring ongoing consciousness.

Adding a creative and meaningful touch, GLASS also launched its “Tree of Hope”, a symbolic display of unity and hope. Team members from both GLASS and GMT signed messages of encouragement, which will be donated to the Cancer Institute of Guyana as a gesture of support to patients undergoing treatment.
Complementing the awareness campaign was the Paediatric Oncology Toy Drive, designed to bring joy and comfort to young patients receiving treatment at the Cancer Institute’s Paediatric Oncology Unit.
Employees donated new toys, books and games, which were delivered by representatives from both companies later in the month. The company’s participation extended to the One Communications’ Pinktober Walk on October 26, where employees proudly represented the GLASS Group, demonstrating solidarity with survivors and raising awareness within the broader community.

“These initiatives reflect our company’s belief that health, unity and compassion go hand-in-hand,” Managing Director of GLASS Group, Glenn Low-A-Chee, stated while adding, “Through Pinktober, we not only raised awareness but also deepened our commitment to supporting the well-being of our employees and the communities we service.”
The GLASS Group’s Pinktober campaign stands as a testament to its corporate philosophy of care, collaboration and community impact, embodying the spirit of giving and advocacy that defines its people.
