In a glamorous ceremony held at the Millennium Manor Hotel and Hall at Camp Street, Georgetown on Wednesday, the ZARA Computer Centre of the Guyana Police Force’s Academy celebrated its end-of-year ‘Awards Ceremony’, which was intended to honour and acknowledge the outstanding commitment and dedication of staff members across all ZARA Computer Centres nationwide.
These centres deliver quality Information Communication Technology (ICT) training to the Guyanese population.
During his remarks, Assistant Superintendent Gladwin Hanover, Coordinator of the ZARA Computer Centres, emphasized that the Awards Ceremony was not a mere celebration, but is a profound testament to the hard work and dedication exhibited by the staff in fulfilling the Centre’s mandate.
“Tonight’s Awards Ceremony is not just a mere celebration; it’s a cornerstone in our commitment to recognizing and celebrating excellence. It’s a testament to the dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment of our ranks,” Hanover expressed.
Further, he described the ceremony as a catalyst: igniting motivation and inspiration within the ranks, and serving as a reminder that every challenge overcome and milestone achieved is acknowledged and celebrated.
One of the highlights of the evening was the recognition of outstanding individuals, with Woman Constable Yelena Jairam receiving the prestigious ‘Centre Administrator of the Year’ Award. She was presented with a plaque and a cash prize of $100,000.
Constable Shaan Hardyal has been honoured as the ‘Instructor of the Year’, and he received a plaque along with a cash prize of $50,000. Other deserving ranks were likewise rewarded with monetary incentives.
The distinguished event was graced by the presence of notable figures, including Force Training Officer Woman Superintendent Sonia Herbert, Woman Superintendent Nicola Kendall, and Commandant of the GPF Academy’s Georgetown Campus, Deputy Superintendent Kevin London.
The Awards Ceremony not only celebrated individual accomplishments, but also served as a testament to the collective journey toward greater heights in the realm of ICT training.
