The Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) yesterday handed over $120, 000 to the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) to aid in its flood relief efforts, the Department of Public Information (DPI) reported.
Safety Coordinator, GCAA, Courtney Frank said the authority is happy to be supporting, even in a small way, to assist those affected by the recent flooding.
Public Information Officer, CDC, Patrice Wishart accepted the donation.
“We understand that it was a staff collective and that’s very noble, and the CDC really appreciates that and it will be put to use almost immediately in the national flood response effort,” he said.
The CDC continues to aid those individuals and families who have lost their assets, livestock and farms due to the nationwide flooding. Persons desirous of contributing to the CDC’s efforts can contact the agency on telephone numbers 226-1027 or 600-7500 (WhatsApp) or visit the Headquarters on Thomas Lands, Georgetown.
