Students gain insight into military life during visit to GDF Base

Students from schools across Guyana have been visiting Base Camp Ayanganna as part of a programme by the Ministry of Education that allows young people to tour places of national interest. According to a Guyana Defence Force (GDF) post on social media, during the visits, the students were given guided tours of several facilities within the base. They learned about the role of the GDF, its history and the work carried out daily in service to the country. The GDF post stated that the tours also provided an opportunity for the students to interact with members of the Force and gain insight into values such as discipline, leadership and service. According to the GDF, the initiative supports efforts to help young people better understand the work of the Joint Services while encouraging interest in national service and leadership among the country’s youth.
