President Irfaan Ali yesterday told the 50 ranks of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), who will be deployed to help the rebuilding efforts in Grenada in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, that they are a true representation of the force through “service to the nation, service to people and making a positive difference”.
The President made the statement as he delivered a charge to the ranks at Base Camp Ayanganna.
“You take with you the love, pride and rich tradition of what makes us Guyanese; strength of character, and a sense of purpose as you help assist the nations within CARICOM to rebuild”, according to a statement from the Office of the President.
He added: “Your mission would involve primarily the rebuilding of key installation in infrastructure so that government services can return in a quick and efficient manner, and to assist in the rebuilding of key services such as health and education, so that these necessities of the people can be restored.”
The 50 ranks are expected to leave tomorrow and will join an advance party of eight in Grenada.
