UG STAFF TO DONATE ONE MILLION DOLLARS TOWARDS FLOOD RELIEF EFFORTS.

The University of Guyana which began an internal flood relief drive among staff, has communicated to the CDC that it will donate One Million dollars toward relief efforts to aid flood-affected communities.

The money was raised from staff, who authorized deductions from their June salaries in response to a call from Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paloma Mohamed Martin. 

A separate activity specifically for UG students, staff, pensioners, and alumni most affected, is being managed internally.

Efforts are also being combined to contribute food hampers, water and care packages inclusive of cleaning supplies, masks, and sanitising agents to those in need.
