One thousand hampers have been donated to several organisations and communities in Guyana by the Jay and Silvia Sobhraj Foundation in an effort to provide relief to persons affected by the coronavirus disease pandemic.
According to a press statement issued by the Foundation on Friday, the organisation tasked itself with embarking on the distribution drive because the pandemic has paused several operations in Guyana, including its free computer courses being offered in Georgetown, Berbice and on the Essequibo Coast.
The statement said the Foundation installed 23 sinks in high-traffic areas on the Essequibo Coast, including four at the Suddie Hospital, during the month of April.
However, after seeing the effects of the global pandemic, it decided to also distribute hampers.
