MoneyGram international transfer service presented gifts comprising two computers each and a quantity of school supplies to the David Rose School and the Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre Special School through its ‘Back to School Promotion’ at a ceremony held at its head office on Wednesday.
Deo Persaud, CEO of the Neal and Massy Group said the company was pleased to be partnering with the two schools. He also lauded the schools’ administrators for working assiduously to meet the needs of their special students.
“MoneyGram is an important component of the business of the Neal and Massy Group, it forms part of our value added – in what we do as a business and how we serve the community in which we operate. Being a good corporate citizen it is important for us to give back to the community, hence these donations,” Persaud said, according to a press release. He also noted that the company marked 44 years of operations in Guyana this year and every September it makes donations to several organisations countrywide.
The head teachers at the two intuitions: Dionne McKenzie at the David Rose School and Anand Mangru at Ptolemy Reid both expressed gratitude to MoneyGram and the Neal and Massy Group for their continued assistance.
Persaud then thanked customers who participated in the ‘Back to School’ promotion and encouraged the public to look out for the upcoming Christmas Promotion which will be launched next month. According to MoneyGram Country Manager Debbie Baldeo, the promotion received overwhelming support and she thanked customers for utilising the service.
The winners were given prizes such as desktop and laptop computers, school supplies and gift vouchers. They are Dianna Grimes of South Ruimveldt, Wazir Shaw of Soesdyke, Linden, Qwesi Sears of De Andrade, Eunice Simon of Bartica, Shahabdeen Ali of Leonora, West Coast Demerara, Yonette Porter of Plaisance, Bibi Rahaman of Bush Lot and Dehola Jacobs of Friends Village, East Coast Demerara.
