The Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T) has teamed up with the African Cultural and Development Association (ACDA) to highlight outstanding Guyanese of African descent.
During the next 10 weeks, leading up to Emancipation Day on August 1, the telephone company will be giving away cash prizes.
On Monday, GT&T’s Chief Executive Officer, Yog Mahadeo, presented a cheque for $200,000 to ACDA to help finance preparations for the Emancipation Day celebrations at the National Park.
With 2011 designated by the UN as the International Year for People of African Descent, the collaboration will see clues every week inviting customers to identify a celebrated hero. Participants will have to text in their answers, with two lucky persons every week winning $20,000 each.
The 20 winners will then be part of GT&T’s participation at ACDA’s Emancipation Day Celebrations at the National Park.
One of them will take away the cash jackpot prize of $200,000.
