DEAR EDITOR,
As a donor to Food for the Poor (Guyana) Incorporated, the Non-Governmental Organisation which is successfully rendering its services to help comfort the poorest of the poor in Guyana, I realise that this organisation cannot be evaluated only by its name.
I keep abreast of the excellent work the entity continues to execute for the nation and would like to compliment the Management and Staff of Food for the Poor (FFTP) for their vision in helping the less fortunate in our country; not only by handouts, but by meaningfully empowering the poor and strengthening state institutions such as the Ministries of Health and Education and the Prison Service.
I observed that two months ago Food for the Poor collaborated with the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTYSC) in honouring outstanding Head Teachers of Region 6.
Most recently, I observed the construction of two (2) villages in Tapakuma and Mashabo, Region 2, that are expected to be completed by Christmas.
As a resident of Essequibo, I have noticed at Little Red Village that the Organisation has fenced the school compound and installed see-saws and swings to make the children more comfortable. Construction work is also progressing close to the school and on enquiring; I learnt that Food for the Poor in collaboration with Little Red Foundation is building a Baker Shop to be managed by the residents of the community. The time off taken by this Organisation to sustain this village is commendable.
The Woodmizer Sawmill at Siriki will tremendously assist the Amerindians with their logging, and the chicken pens located at Capoey and Mainstay will go a long way in empowering the residents of those villages.
I also noticed in the daily newspapers that the Non-Governmental Organisation was the recipient of a National Award, the Medal of Service (MS), for its outstanding humanitarian work throughout the length and breadth of Guyana.
I venture to say that this Organisation is more than working in the interest of the Poor. It has become an Institution that must be recognized and regarded highly for its competence in ensuring the comfort of the lives of the poorest of the poor in our country.
Once again compliments to the Management and Staff of Food for the Poor.
May God continue to bless the Organisation. Keep up the excellent work.
