GLASS Group’s “Act Now, Live Strong,” breast cancer campaign pushes early detection to save lives
In observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, the GLASS Group of Companies demonstrated its ongoing commitment to health, community and compassion through a series of initiatives under the theme “Act Now, Live Strong”.
Glass Group of Companies installed a tree of hope for breast cancer patients and survivors.
Throughout the month of October, employees across GLASS and Global Manpower & Training Inc. (GMT) joined together to promote cancer awareness, early detection and support for individuals and families affected by the disease.
The campaign began with the symbolic gesture “Think Pink Fridays”, where employees proudly wore pink each week to show solidarity and raise awareness.
On October 24, the company hosted an informative health awareness session at its Barrack Street office, featuring licensed medical practitioner Dr. Angela Binda. The session emphasized the importance of early screening for both breast and prostate cancer, as well as the benefits of adopting proactive health and wellness practices.
As part of this event, employees received cancer screening vouchers and were encouraged to take a personal pledge through the “Pledge to Check” booklet, aimed at inspiring ongoing consciousness. Adding a creative and meaningful touch, GLASS also launched its “Tree of Hope”, a symbolic display of unity and hope. Team members from both GLASS and Global Manpower & Training Inc. (GMT) signed messages of encouragement, which will be donated to the Cancer Institute of Guyana as a gesture of support to patients undergoing treatment.

Complementing the awareness campaign was the Pediatric Oncology Toy Drive, designed to bring joy and comfort to young patients receiving treatment at the Cancer Institute’s Pediatric Oncology Unit. Employees donated new toys, books and games which were delivered from representatives from both companies later in the month.
The company’s participation extended to the One Communication’s Pinktober Walk on October 26, where our employees proudly represented the GLASS Group, demonstrating solidarity with survivors and raising awareness within the broader community.
These initiatives reflect our company’s belief that health, unity and compassion goes hand-inhand” said Mr. Glenn Low-A-Chee, Managing Director of GLASS Group.
“Through Pinktober, we not only raised awareness but also deepened our commitment to supporting the wellbeing of our employees and the communities we service”.
