GTT donates masks to Lethem
The Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GTT) recently donated 1,000 reusable masks to the Mayor and Town Council of Lethem and an additional 500 to Nappi Village, to assist the township’s ongoing COVID-19 relief efforts.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the council was Deputy Mayor, Debra King, who expressed gratitude to GTT for the timely donation. GTT’s Chief Marketing Officer, Orson Ferguson visited the community to deliver the masks to the Council.
“We continue to do all that is necessary to ensure everyone has the means to be masked up. The distribution of masks is just one way that GTT contributes to combating COVID-19; we have also donated hygienic hampers to several healthcare organizations and continue to provide doctors and nurses with a free mobile plan on a monthly basis. Our nation’s education sector has also received our support, as we joined the effort to support online learning,” Ferguson shared.
Deputy Mayor King thanked GTT, and said “These masks will be allocated to Council Members who will then have the responsibility to further distribute to the residents of the municipality of Lethem. We have engaged many organizations like GTT since the beginning of the pandemic in early 2020, and are continually grateful for each contribution”. She added that GTT’s donation would assist the ongoing efforts of the municipality to provide masks to residents.
