Days after doling out more than $1M and presenting a number of desktop and laptop computers and other accessories to the people of Linden, New York-based Guyanese Sahaboob Yassin, has followed up on another promise.
He has donated 10 IPods and one mini IPad to St. Francis Community Developers (SFCD) organisation.
The simple presentation ceremony was held last Saturday at the newly commissioned SFCD state of the art multimillion-dollar headquarters at Portuguese Quarters, Corentyne, Berbice.
Yassin, who hails from East Bank Berbice, presented the Ipods to President of the SFCD Alex Foster. Accompanying Yassin was his wife, Rameeza.
The man who was a school teacher before migrating to the USA is still a member of the United Nations Association of Guyana.
Yassin stated that he always has the penchant to assist and to give back, especially to his country. He said that he prefers to remain a member of the Guyanese chapter instead of joining the USA section of the organisation.
He is currently assisting with about five projects in Guyana including projects in Linden, Agricola, East Bank Berbice and the Transport Sports Club in Georgetown and the Youth Coalition for Transformation (YTC) and is on the verge of a few more. He is willing to continue his benevolence, but wants to work with reputable organisations.
Yassin stated that he visited the SFCD a few months ago and was overwhelmed, thus his willingness to work with the SFCD. He said that it is a privilege and an honour to work with organisations such as the SFCD and is willing to foster more projects with the august body.
Foster expressed appreciation and heartfelt thanks to Mr. Yassin for responding so quickly. Foster stated that Yassin is one of few Guyanese who would have kept a promise to the Organisation. He expressed the hope that Yassin’s generosity and compassion can rub off on many other Guyanese in the diaspora in their quest to assist their brothers and sisters in need back home.
A plaque was presented to Mr. Yassin and his wife on behalf of The SFCD organisation.
