Support continues to come in for President David Granger’s “Boats, Buses and Bicycles” programme for school children with a donation of ten bicycles yesterday, from Universal Group of Companies.
A release from the Ministry of the Presidency yesterday said that the company’s Administrative Manager, Nevica Wray and Operations Officer, Toanna Greene, presented the bicycles to First Lady, Sandra Granger, at a simple ceremony, held at State House.
The First lady expressed her gratitude to the donors. Ian Edwards, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, told the Ministry of the Presidency that he felt moved to make a donation after seeing the initiative publicised on numerous occasions, and knowing the benefits that would accrue.
“An initiative like this is very near and dear to me, being able to help a child get to school; and coming from a teaching background, I think assisting children to get an education is very important,” Edwards said, according to the press release.
