REPSOL Exploration (Guyana) SA, recently donated a quantity of stationery to help boost Food for the Poor Guyana’s (FFTP) stationery drive which was launched in July, 2014. At a simple ceremony in FFTP’s boardroom, Indira Chandarpal, a representative of the energy company, said that she was pleased that Repsol could assist FFTP to complete the requirements of their stationery drive. “We are happy to be a part of this venture and look forward to supporting Food for the Poor in its future endeavours,” she concluded.
In his response, Chief Executive Officer of FFTP, Mr. Kent Vincent, thanked Repsol for their kind gesture in supporting the stationery drive. “There are so many children who find it difficult to acquire basic necessities to attend school. Food for the Poor is the leading entity that makes donations and so we are very happy today to be at the receiving end, so that we in turn can help those in need,” he said. He further stated that FFTP would like to encourage other companies and businesses to contribute not only school items but other items that would be useful to the poor.
