By Staff Editor

April 24, 2020

Today, the Ambassador of the European Union to Guyana Fernando Ponz Cantó, in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Demerara, made an urgent donation of personal computers, smartphones, tablets and, sanitation and food hampers to the Deaf Association of Guyana and to the Guyana Society for the Blind.

The donated pieces of electronic equipment were part of the reserve library of electronics of the recent EU Electoral Observation Mission [EUEOM] to Guyana for the March 2, 2020. The EU Delegation expects that the devices will significantly aid the beneficiary persons in their communication needs and contribute to the existing educational programmes they each conduct, especially during this period where movement and regular daily activities are restricted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The hampers were put together from donations and by the Rotarians.

It would be amazing to see how the deaf and the blind will practise social distancing.
