GT&T donates to North Rupununi Youth Learning Centre

The Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T) has donated several pieces of equipment to the Bina Hill Institute/Youth Learning Centre in the North Rupununi.

In a release on Wednesday, the company said it responded to a request from the principal of the institution for a television set and sports gear for students.

The local telephone giant said it recently handed over a 32-inch flat screen television set and a quantity of sports gear, which according to the institute, will be used for some structured and meaningful leisure time activities.

GT&T said too that last year, it also made a financial contribution to the institution as it recognises its value in providing practical and instructional programmes for young people in the region, who have left school, but are willing to continue to pursue studies in areas such as forestry, tourism, natural resource management and business studies.

North Rupununi District Development Board Secretary and motivational speaker Virgil Harding in accepting the token on behalf of the institution, said the television will facilitate access to the Guyana Learning Channel, which was launched there last year.
