Ptolemy Reid Rehab Centre renovation nears completion
With continued efforts aimed at a safe and healthy environment for children with special needs, there is good news that the renovation of the Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre is nearing completion.
The Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre
In December 2013, Digicel and the Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre (PRRC) signed an MOU for major rehabilitation works to be undertaken at the facility. This collaboration came as a result of a request made by the Centre.
Digicel deemed the venture as an investment in Guyana’s future and as such forged ahead with unwavering support. The works included repainting of the building, refurbishing of the access ramps, physiotherapy flooring, roof, and other areas.
A recent visit to the centre by Digicel’s Sponsorship Manager, Gavin Hope, revealed that works are moving apace, with over eighty percent completed. To date, the PRRC has received over 90 percent of the funds that were allotted to the project.
The Sponsorship Manager said, “It is indeed a pleasure to see that the PRRC has honoured its commitment, staying true to the deadlines, and with works being almost completed, we are elated at the fact that the students of the PRRC will be benefiting from this collaboration sooner rather than later.”
This is the second collaboration of its kind between Digicel and the PRRC. Recently, Digicel sponsored the refurbishment of the dining area and washroom facilities of the centre.
The Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre has 64 children in its nursery, primary and vocational education departments, as well as 30 others in day care. Another 20 are seen by experts on days when rehabilitation services are provided. A total of 80 children have been seen by the unit for the year.
