C’bean Voice invites nominations for El Dorado Awards

Mar 08, 2016 News

The Caribbean Voice, a non-Governmental Organisation involved in suicide prevention, is inviting nominations for its Second Annual El Dorado Awards, slated for July 2016. The day and venue will be announced later.
The El Dorado Awards were launched in August 2015 to recognize affirmation agents on Guyana’s social landscape. It was supported by Sueria Manufacturing, Gafoor Group of Companies, Cara Hotel, Metro Office Supplies, Galaxy 21 Communications, Office Resources (New York City) and an anonymous sponsor.
Vice-President of the Organisation, Bibi Ahamad, said yesterday that the awards were very well received by stakeholders, attendees and the general public. A decision was taken to make it an annual event.
She continued that Affirmation agents are individuals, businesses and organizations that give back to communities and causes, promote and support social causes and/or engage in charitable work to empower and positively impact lives.
Those who give so much of their time, efforts and resources to make a difference are often unacknowledged and even unrecognized.
The purpose of the El Dorado Awards is to ensure that the Guyanese nation becomes aware of the work of these sterling individuals and entities.
Award categories and eligibility criteria can be accessed at www.caribvoice.org/el-dorado-awards.html. Nominations, to include name, address, phone number, email and short bios or background information, should be sent via email to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] or via instant messaging (IM) on facebook to Annan Boodram, Bibi Ahamad or The Suicide Epidemic page.
The Caribbean Voice is also inviting sponsors for the awards.

For inquiries or further information please call 223-2637 or 621-6111 (Guyana) or 718-542-4454 (Canada, USA) or send email to any of the email addresses above.
