Corporal Michael Cumberbatch (left) of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Air Corps, who lost his home in a recent fire, has received a donation to assist with rebuilding efforts.
Air Corps Maintenance Manager, Major Damon Joseph presented the cheque to the soldier, earlier yesterday, according to a release from the GDF.
Force Welfare Officer, Jermain Hamilton who was also on hand for the presentation said that the Force continues to address the welfare needs of its ranks, particularly those who have been faced with difficult circumstances such as this.
Cumberbatch and his family of four, occupied the home which was gutted while he was at work. “I feel relieved because this will enable me to make a meaningful contribution towards rebuilding our home,” he said.
Cumberbatch enlisted in the GDF in September, 2014.
