Members of the differently-abled community are being trained to make concrete blocks for use in the construction industry, according to a release yesterday from the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA).
An $875,000 block-making shed donated by CH&PA was also commissioned at the opening ceremony at the Guyana Society for the Blind at High Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown and a quantity of equipment was handed over including wheelbarrows and spades.
The Ministry of Housing and Water in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism launched the block-making workshop for members of the differently-abled community, under the Community-based Employment Stimulation Programme (CESP).
