Assemblies of God Guyana donates generators to CDC

Members of the Executive Presbytery of the Assemblies of God Guyana today donated ten (10) generators to the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) to be utilized in disaster response exercises and operations.

The handover ceremony took place at the Commission’s Thomas Lands Headquarters where Director General, Lieutenant Colonel Kester Craig, accepted the supplies. Mr. Craig lauded the donation and indicated that during times of emergency adequate and consistent power is of utmost importance. He added that whether the hazard is an oil spill or a flood, a functional power supply is a key component of the response effort. Ultimately, according to the Director General, a generator should be a part of every response kit used by the Commission for efficiency and effectiveness.

General Bishop, Dr. John Oswald Smith CCH, expressed pride for being able to make such a significant donation. He said that the Assemblies of God Guyana understands the need for power during difficult times and trusts that the CDC will utilize the supplies fully.

The religious organisation has a long standing relationship with the CDC and vowed to lend a helping hand as part of their civic and spiritual duty for the betterment of Guyana.
