THE Guyana Police Force ‘D’ Division, which covers the entire West Demerara and East Bank Essequibo, in collaboration with the Community Policing Group (CPG) last Friday donated a water pump, and treated the students of St. Lawrence Nursery School, East Bank Essequibo to hot meals.

Spearheading the exercise were Deputy Commander, Superintendent Stephen Mansell and CPG Divisional Vice Chairman, Mulchand Rampersaud
The donation of the water pump was timely since parents and teachers were complaining about the slow flow of water which puts the health of the students at risk since they hardly get water to wash their hands and do proper cleaning.
Speaking with the Chronicle, Deputy Commander Mansell said that after they had visited the school and did various checkups they saw the need for the water pump to ensure a constant water flow.
“Children are our future, they are the future leaders and we the police will work hard in order to develop not only this school but schools throughout our division,” Mansell said.
After the donation of the pump, hot meals were served to the students as they enjoyed themselves talking with the deputy commander about their needs.
