U.S. Embassy’s takes Humanitarian Programme to Mabaruma, Wakenaam and Leguan
GEORGETOWN– The U.S. Embassy Humanitarian Assistance Programme (HAP) recently donated track and field equipment to the Mabaruma community. This donation consisted of starter blocks, batons, shot puts, discuses and javelins, and other track and field equipment.
This donation supports the community’s efforts to provide an after-school sports programme that will engage the children of six local schools.
Doreen Roberts, the District Education Officer in Mabaruma, noted that this sports programme will challenge the local youth to work even more diligently to increase self-discipline and become more physically fit.
In collaboration with the non-governmental organization Shuzz, and representatives from Wakenaam and Leguan Islands in Region Three, the HAP team provided over 300 pairs of new shoes to children on both islands.
The donations were accepted at the Wakenaam Computer School and the Maryville Masjid, Leguan. Community organizers thanked the HAP and the U.S. Embassy for its support to the children.
The Humanitarian Assistance Programme is an initiative under the U.S. Embassy to assist Guyana’s communities in the areas of social, economic and medical development. HAP works to bring together multiple local and international agencies to reach common goals.
