Ashinee also has her mind set on sewing garments of indigenous designs, and to help her expand her small business, the Guyana Council of Organisations for Persons with Disabilities (GCOPD) presented her on Wednesday with a sewing machine.
A simple handing over ceremony was held in the studios of the National Communications Network in the presence of GCOPD Chairman Cecil Morris and Programme Director Ganesh Singh.
The gesture is intended to help Ashinee with her financial independence and is part of GCOPD’s continued efforts to support persons with disabilities. “We have found that a high percentage of those individuals who were trained or received grants have been extremely successful,” Singh pointed out.
