Tropical Shipping boosts literacy with donation to Rotary Club

Tropical Shipping, a US-based transportation and logistics company, has reaffirmed its commitment to community development in Guyana through a donation to the Rotary Club of Georgetown Central (RCGC).
The contribution, aimed specifically at supporting literacy and education programmes, was officially handed over during a brief ceremony at Tropical Shipping’s Georgetown office on High Street, Kingston, on Thursday.

Leading the presentation was Country Manager for Tropical Shipping, Glenis Hodge, in Guyana, who was joined by several members of her local team. The gathering reflected a strong sense of partnership, highlighting Tropical Shipping’s long-standing collaboration with the Rotary Club to support youth and educational initiatives across the country.
“This donation is specifically intended to support literacy and education programmes in Guyana,” Hodge said. “Tropical Shipping views community engagement as an essential part of our mission. Our community relations programme ensures continued support for the countries and islands where we serve, contributing to sustainability, growth, and development.”
Hodge emphasised that investing in youth development remains a central focus for the company, especially in a rapidly growing Guyana. “We hope this contribution helps more young people benefit from educational and developmental activities, opening doors of opportunities and supporting Guyana’s continued progress,” she added.
Receiving the donation on behalf of RCGC was the club’s president, Lloyd David, who expressed heartfelt appreciation for Tropical Shipping’s consistent support.
“So, the Rotary Club of Georgetown Central is extremely delighted at the fact that Tropical Shipping continues to support us as we work with communities across Guyana,” David said.
“This fund, this donation that we received today, will go a far way in ensuring particularly our literacy and education programme be fruitful and continues to exist across the length and breadth of Guyana. We will be able to donate several items to the less fortunate and organisations that need supplies so as to enhance their activities.”
David continued, “So RCGC is extremely happy, and we want to say thank you very much to Tropical Shipping for your continued support year after year. We will make use of your fund as we change the lives of people across Guyana. Thank you very much.”
