The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) yesterday made another contribution to youth development with the presentation of a cheque for $25,000 to the Ambassadors of Buxton Community Development Association (ABCDA).
This contribution continues the GDF’s commitment to building stakeholder partnerships with communities throughout Guyana and represents a commitment given by the army’s leadership not to give up on Buxton, the Army said in a press release.
Presenting the cheque on behalf of the GDF to Mr. Winston Stewart of ABCDA was Woman Warrant Officer Class One Clenn Braithwaithe.
Over the past five years, the Force has provided support for the youth development projects carried out by the ABCDA. Such support has enabled the organization to provide trophies and awards for its high achievers.
According to Mr. Stewart, one of the Association’s committee members, the ABCDA was established in 2002 and undertakes several projects, which include skills development training, for youths, a school feeding programme, the provision of school supplies and also the provision of resource personnel to work with the schools on their sports and physical education curriculum.
Stewart, himself a former member of the GDF, said his organization caters for the community’s youth at the primary school and university levels and emphasized that the Army’s support over the years has been invaluable.
He noted that, once again, the young people will recognize the army’s involvement in their academic and social development. The organization continues to be grateful.
The GDF said it remains committed to partnerships which focus on enhancing the lives of our nation’s youth.
