Thirty-three children from the Joshua House Orphanage yesterday visited the Kaieteur Falls for the first time in an initiative spearheaded by the Private Sector Commission (PSC) as part of its social responsibility function.
A release from the PSC said that this initiative grew out of a visit by Britain’s Prince Harry to the Joshua House where he lamented the fact that the children had never seen the famous falls and an appeal was made to the private sector to remedy this.
The PSC thanked Roraima Airways, headed by Captain Gerald Gouveia, Jags Aviation, headed by Brian Tiwarie, and Air Services Ltd, owned by Yacoob Ally, for their generosity in providing aircraft. A private donation was also made to charter an additional aircraft.
Coordination of the visit was handled by Manniram Prashad and Major General (ret’d) Norman McLean of the PSC.
