The New Guyana Pharmaceutical Corporation (New GPC Inc.) has taken a lead role in fulfilling its corporate responsibility as it became the first company to throw support behind the annual Upper Mazaruni District Games, billed for next month.

Dubbed the Upper Mazaruni District Games, the event will attract 10 top football teams battling for supremacy from August 5-10 at the Kamarang ground in Region Seven.
Marketing Manager of New GPC Inc., Trevor Bassoo, said his company has been an avid supporter of football, making specific reference to their contributions to the annual Kashif and Shanghai tournament and activities under the purview of the Guyana Football Federation.
Bassoo added they are now pleased to partner with stakeholders at the community level, and he used the opportunity to call on other companies follow suit and support the Upper Mazaruni District Games, which is being coordinated through the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs.
He further stated that New GPC Inc. has supported sport across the board, not just football.
Principal Regional Development Officer of the Amerindian Affairs Ministry, Anil Roberts, who is a part of the organising committee of the games, expressed gratitude to New GPC Inc. on behalf of the Upper Mazaruni District Games’ committee and the ministry.
Roberts promised that the rivalry will be intense during the six-day event, with the 10 teams ready and rearing to go at each other. The participating teams are Chinoweing, Imbaimadai, Jawalla, Kaikan, Kamarang/Warawatta, Kako, Paruima, Phillipai, Quebenang and Waramadong.
The games will be the regular 11-a-side, 90 minutes, with Kamarang set to defend their title in the Male Category and Jawalla seeking to maintain supremacy on the distaff side. Also present at yesterday’s presentation ceremony were Marketing Assistant of New GPC, Sabrina Chaitram, and Procurement Officer of the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs, Christopher Singh.
