Volunteerism from Massy Industries Guyana employees has resulted in the rehabilitation and restoration of some facilities at the David Rose School for the Handicapped at Thomas Lands, Georgetown.
The volunteers working to restore the facilities at the David Rose School on Saturday
The activities were carried out mainly by staff members of the company throughout the week, culminating with the final touches on Saturday. Some of the works which were done included the construction of a stairway and adjoining catwalk, painting of the basketball court, the rehabilitation and painting of benches and other facilities in the playground and land clearing to remove overgrown vegetation.
Additionally, books which were acquired during a book drive were also donated to the students.
Country Manager at Massy Industries, Deo Persaud, asserted that the educational institution and the company would’ve celebrated their 50th anniversary this year. Consequently, that was the sole rationale behind the project.
“Massy started life in Guyana in 1968, the same year as David Rose and we’re happy to sort of twin with them as part of our community outreach and giving back to the society.”
Persaud further explained that there was much need for a restoration exercise, giving the fact that the outdoor areas and some sections of the building were in an unsatisfactory state.
The facilities will be maintained by the company.
Teachers of the school expressed their gratitude to the company, underscoring how important this project was to the well-being of the students.
