Giftland Mall yesterday handed over six packages comprising school supplies that will be given to the Champion Athletes in six age categories from the recently held National Schools’ Cycling, Swimming and Track
and Field Championships.
Giftland has been a long-term sponsor of the Ministry of Education and Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) National Schools’ Championships, and plans to continue its support of student-athletes to ensure that they become well-rounded individuals and ambassadors.
Marketing Assistant at Giftland Mall, Candacy Baveghems said that the company has a mandate from its President, Roy Beepat to give back to Guyana. “Our President, Mr. (Roy) Beepat always says that Giftland is about giving back to Guyana, especially youth because they are the future,” Baveghems said.
She informed that Giftland “is very pleased to be associated with Nationals”. General Secretary of the Union, Coretta McDonald received the packages in the presence of other members of the Management Committee for the National Schools’ Championships.
McDonald thanked Giftland for their contribution toward the development of both athletics and academics, stating that it is such support that is required to move sport forward. According to the GTU General Secretary, Giftland’s support raises the profile of the Games.
Giftland will be partnering with the School Championships in an extensive deal that will feature among other aspects, apparel for all the age-group champions and enrolment into its ambassador programme.
The programme will ensure that athletes become well-rounded individuals. It will provide for the holistic development of student-athletes with similar clauses to scholarship. Student-athletes will be able to benefit from funding for school programmes and athletics participation, and training in fields crucial to their development like public speaking. Giftland has been a major contributor to the Championships since 2010.
