MORE than 140 students from the community of Wakapoa, Region 2 (Pomeroon-Supenaam), were given footwear on Wednesday, compliments of Sterling Products Limited’s (SPL) Igloo Ice Cream.

Each child, from Nursery to Grade 6, received footwear.

The community depends mainly on farming, fishing and producing cassava-based products such as cassava bread and casareep.

Chief Executive Officer (ag), Mr Deodat Indar said the company is happy to be associated with such an initiative and will continue through its corporate social responsibility programme to assist the residents of Wakapoa as well as other communities throughout Guyana.
