Last evening, Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal and Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport,  Charles Ramson, sat down with a team from SBM Offshore-Guyana, including Country Manager,  Martin Cheong and Executive Director of NGO National Coordinating Coalition (NCC),  Simone Sills to discuss partnership for the upgrade of the Cummings Park (Sophia) Multipurpose Facility.

A release from the Ministry of Housing said that Croal emphasized that the primary goal of the project is to transform the facility into a space that significantly benefits the community, especially youths.

Ramson highlighted the upgrade as a critical investment for development. Currently, the building is occupied by the NCC under an MOU with the former Community Development Council (CDC), which granted them a five-year occupancy agreement, the release said.
