Sol Guyana Supports Back to School Drives

Sol Guyana Inc. has been a part of the Agricola Community for more than 12 years with operations spanning across the country. At Sol, we are passionate about supporting the Caribbean and the communities in which we operate. After hearing the plea of Mrs. Elizabeth Williams – Niles, a teacher and concerned resident of the Agricola-Mc Doom Communities, Sol Guyana committed to support the ‘Agricola Children’s Back to School Youth Project’. Support was in the form of supplying 100 lunch bags and notebooks, and partnering with several other organizations who have also initiated Back to School Projects. A special thanks to groups such as the Rotaract Club of Georgetown, Rome Methodist Church, Soesdyke Community Policing Group, Eccles Assembly Outstation Sunday School and Rapture Ready Youth Group for their works in relation to community and youth development.
