THE Guyana Police Force (GPF) has officially opened a new Zara Computer Centre in Lethem, thanks to a collaborative effort with the Jay and Sylvia Sobhraj Foundation. The latest addition to the network of Zara Computer Centres aims to enhance community relations and broaden access to Information Technology across Guyana.

The commissioning ceremony, held recently, marked the launch of this state-of-the-art facility in Central Rupununi.
The Centre features two computer labs, each equipped to accommodate 32 individuals. This set-up will serve both residents of the region and members of the police force, providing a valuable resource for education and technological engagement.
The Jay and Sylvia Sobhraj Foundation played a crucial role in the construction of the Centre, reflecting their commitment to educational development and community support. The Foundation’s initiative extends beyond the scope of technology, focussing on educational advancement and community programming tailored to the needs of the Rupununi Region.

The ceremony was attended by several notable figures, including Jay Sobhraj, Mrs. Silvia Sobhraj, Nardeo Singh; Magistrate, His Worship Omadatt Chandan; Vice Chairman Bertie Xavier, and Co-ordinator of the GPF’ Zara Computer Centres ASP Gladwin Hanover. Lieutenant Roach and various senior and junior ranks of the GPF also participated in the event, highlighting the collaborative spirit behind the project.
This new facility is expected to play a significant role in the region, offering residents and police ranks opportunities to advance their skills and engage with modern technology.
