THE Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association and the Lions and Leos Club of Bel Air, on Monday, donated items to the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) for distribution to persons affected by the destructive Mahdia fire, which claimed the lives of 19 children.
The Guyana Gold and Diamond Miners Association provided a cheque worth $250,000 while the Lions and Leos Club of Bel Air donated a quantity of clothing items and other personal care supplies. Both entities said that they felt the need to help as the country mourns the loss of 19 children who perished in a dormitory fire recently.
The Commission remains ready and willing to provide any support that is necessary to the town of Mahdia.
