Banks DIH donates to Santa Rosa
Banks DIH Limited recently made a donation of Triskits Crackers to Santa Rosa in Moruca, Region One (Barima/Waini). This was following a call for assistance for the community which has been seriously affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ms. Shenisa Fredericks of Banks DIH Limited makes the presentation to Ms. Miranda La Rose of the Santa Rosa Steering Committee.
Ms. Shenisa Fredericks, Brand Manager of Triskits Products, made the presentation to Ms. Miranda La Rose, of the Santa Rosa Family and Friends (SRFF) Steering Committee during a presentation at Thirst Park on Thursday June 25th, 2020.
Ms. La Rose said to date, 23 residents of the community were tested positive for COVID-19 including one death, and the pandemic has had a negative impact on the livelihood of residents in that region.
She noted that the virus has directly affected Santa Rosa, a community with a population of over 10,000 – the largest Indigenous peoples’ community in Guyana.
“We would like to thank Banks DIH Limited for its timely donation but we continue to seek further assistance of non-perishable food items, sanitizers and toiletries to support close to 500 families,” Ms. La Rose said.
Mr. Troy Peters, Communications Manager said the management of Banks DIH Limited is very concerned about the well-being of the residents of Region One and hopes that the situation improves soon.
The Company recently made a donation of products to the Lethem Town Council for its Food Donation Drive to residents affected by COVID-19.
