In an ongoing effort to assist those affected by the coronavirus outbreak, the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) has partnered with the Guyana Council of Organisations for Persons with Disabilities (GCOPD) to give relief hampers to some 700 persons.
A Department of Public Information (DPI) release stated that the distribution exercise commenced yesterday morning and among the first to benefit from the outreach was the Guyana Society for the Blind, Gifted Hands Learning Centre for Special Needs, The Guyana Deaf Association, and the Vocational Training Centre for Special Needs at Sophia.
The Visually Impaired Association of Guyana, Guyana Blind Cricket Association, and the New Amsterdam Special Needs School are also listed to receive supplies.
