In keeping with its corporate responsibility, logging-giant Barama Company Limited (BCL) presented bursary awards to five of its employees’ children, recently.
The awards were presented at the Company’s annual ceremony which was held at the Company’s Head Office at Land of Canaan, East Bank Demerara. According to a release by the company, the ceremony was one where both students and employees received advice from the company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Thomas Apun and Director of NCERD, Jennifer Cumberbatch.
The students were urged by the CEO to always persevere regardless of their circumstances. Apun shared the story of his humble beginnings, adding that it was persistence that propelled him to now be standing at the helm of one of the largest companies in Guyana.
Cumberbatch encouraged the students to stay on the path of success and to “dare to dream.”
Some of her advice was also directed to the parents whom she asked to always take time to listen to their children and also to engage them in conversation. She commended the parents for their efforts thus far in terms of values being instilled in their children.
Cumberbatch lauded the company for its sustained commitment towards education and wished them continued success in their business so that they may continue to give back to Guyana.
The company also took the opportunity to present books it collected via its annual ‘Education Month Book Drive’ to the Headmistress of Soesdyke Primary Jeraldine Ferguson. The books were donated with the aim of improving the school’s library.
Attendees of the function were also inspired by a solo from young Jeremiah Smith of Soesdyke Primary, a recital from the Company’s Marketing Officer Daniel Jaisingh and a dance by Lorraine Baptiste.
