THEIR watchwords being ‘Riding with the spirit of friendship for the spirit of charity’, Doronai Champion Riders raised $240,000 and handed the sum to Help and Shelter (H&S) at Georgetown Club, in Camp Street, on Monday.

In April 2009 Help & Shelter received a donation of US$10,000 from ExxonMobil Corporation to be used for much-needed repairs & remedial work to our shelter, creation of additional work space at our crisis service and refurbishment to enhance the environment for clients and personnel at both the shelter & crisis service. The donation has been made as part of ExxonMobil’s corporate citizenship activities in Guyana.

Help & Shelter is delighted to announce that it is to receive $3m from the government to cover the cost of rewiring of and repairs to its Homestretch Avenue crisis service office that was damaged by fire on 28th December 2009.

Help & Shelter extends sincere thanks to those who have already made donations to assist in fire recovery. These have been applied towards the cost of cleaning the smoke-blackened office and its contents to so that they could be put back in order and some basic administrative functions could be resumed.
