Businessman Mahendra Hardyal recently presented monetary donations to the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha (GHDS) for their continued humanitarian work.

Hardyal, Managing Director of Regal Stationery and Computer Centre (RSCC), presented  $1,250,000 to the non-profit organization for the Bal Nivas Shelter for Abused Children and for the completion of the Dharmic Rama Krishna Secondary School.

The Regal boss presented $250,000 to the Bal Nivas Shelter in Ankerville, Corentyne, Berbice. The sum represents the purse from the inaugural Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Over-40 tournament which Regal Masters won in December.

The shelter caters for up to 60 children who are suffering from various forms of abuse and needs approximately $500,000 monthly to keep the centre going.

However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, they are facing tough times especially with fund raising events.

So said GHDS Director, Rajnarine Singh, who welcomed the timely donations.

A presentation of $1,000,000 was also done on behalf of Regal Stationery and Computer Centre and the extended Hardyal family to aid in the construction of the Dharmic Rama Krishna Secondary School. That presentation was done by Office Manager, Telesha Ousman.

Ousman said there is nothing more pleasing to the Hardyals than supporting children in education and to recover from difficult situations.

Singh thanked the Hardyals, the Regal Business Group and its cricket teams and wished them  success in their future endeavors.

He said the money will go towards the three-phased project which is expected to be completed by September.
