Through the donation to the African Cultural Development Association, Digicel has pledged its continued support to the much anticipated annual emancipation celebrations in Guyana.
At the simple handing over at the Digicel’s Head Office in Kingston, Events and Sponsorship Executive, Louanna Abrams, noted, “Digicel has been a proud sponsor of Emancipation Celebrations from the inception and this year is no different.
“We have pledged a significant sum to the general management and execution of the event which will feature Luciano as the performing artiste.”
Present at the hand over was Aisha Haynes, Emancipation Co-ordinator, who expressed her appreciation to Digicel for its continued support to the Emancipation Festival this year and over the past years.
Cultural development and sustainability is one aspect of Digicel’s under the mandate of Corporate Social Responsibility. Over the past nine years of operations in Guyana, Digicel has pledged their support to Special Needs, Education, Cultural and Youth development and many other areas of development.
With the recent passage of the Telecoms Bill in the National Assembly, Digicel’s CEO Kevin Kelly commended the “laudable achievement”. He noted that “a competitive sector will result in many benefits in terms of new and improved services for the people of Guyana”.
