Regal Stationery and Computer Centre has donated over $3.5 million in cleaning supplies and other items to help citizens recover from the devastating effects of the recent flooding across the country.

A release from the company said the donation to the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) comprised approximately 530 cases of hand soaps, hand sanitizers, disinfectant sprays and multipurpose surface cleaners.

The handing over was done by Manager of Regal Business Group Telesha Ousman, who noted that the donation is intended to help fellow Guyanese recover quickly and safely from the effects of the flood. Ousman further noted that another donation will be made directly to some residents and farmers of Region five.

The CDC has been distributing food, sanitization and pharmaceutical hampers throughout the country and has called on members of the public to donate supplies to help the cause as the flooding has been classified as a level two disaster.

The release said the companies in the Group have been involved in regular acts of kindness as it is the vision of Directors Ramnarine Krishna Hardyal and Mahendra Anil Hardyal to see citizens have equal opportunities to live in comfort in their homes.
