THE Aurora Gold Project and the Grana y Montero and Sedgman Joint Venture (GSJV) have donated books to the University of Guyana’s Environmental Management Programme.

Speaking at the brief handing over ceremony held at the Learning Resource Centre located within the University of Guyana compound, Dr Allyson Stoll expressed sincere gratitude to the companies for their generous donation, and noted that the books will be of additional assistance to the students enrolled in the Master’s and post-graduate diploma programmes in Environmental Management.

On behalf of the Aurora Gold Project and the Grana y Montero and Sedgman Joint Venture (GSJV), Marco Camacho related that the companies recognise that environmental education is an important and core subject for the future of both the mining and construction sectors.

“It is only fitting that we make a contribution to the entities who share our views on the long-term care and harmonious use of the environment,” he said.

Only recently, the GSJV Aurora Project Director, Max Scott, was on site at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence to present a donation of equipment to the East Bank Cricket Board.

He noted then: “We are committed to supporting the communities where we operate, and I am thrilled to help the academy to bring life to junior cricketers on the East Bank of Demerara, as well as key community enterprises such as Vector Control and the School of Earth and Environmental Services.” (Rebecca Ganesh)
