(GYSBI), the country\u2019s largest shore base and logistics hub, has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting vulnerable children through the renewal of its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Joshua House Children\u2019s Centre. This renewal forms part of First Lady, Arya Ali\u2019s \u2018Adopt-an-Orphanage\u2019 Initiative, a national programme aimed at improving the lives of children in institutional care across Guyana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The official signing took place on Friday, July 25, 2025 at State House, with GYSBI\u2019s Public Relations Manager, Gomatie Gangadin, representing the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the programme\u2019s launch in 2021, GYSBI has supported Joshua House Children\u2019s Centre by providing direct financial sponsorship, facility upgrades, utility payments, staff salary assistance, and recreational activities for the children. The partnership has contributed meaningfully to creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSupporting Joshua House goes beyond financial contributions for GYSBI. We see it as an investment in the lives and futures of vulnerable children. We believe in the potential of every child and are proud to stand with them, year after year,\u201d said Ms. Gangadin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ongoing relationship also reflects GYSBI\u2019s commitment to building stronger, more compassionate communities through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). In a tangible example of this impact, two young men who were raised at Joshua House and have now outgrown the home, are full-time employees at GYSBI working in the Maintenance and Operations Department, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the Adopt-an-Orphanage Initiative enters its fourth phase, Joshua House is one of 11 children\u2019s homes across the country set to benefit from renewed sponsorship over the next 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GYSBI remains honoured to be part of this transformative programme and looks forward to continuing its support for the welfare and success of the children at Joshua House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/energyguyana.gy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/520753603_1193850429210726_4746971408550481747_n-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/energyguyana.gy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/520753603_1193850429210726_4746971408550481747_n-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/energyguyana.gy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/520753603_1193850429210726_4746971408550481747_n-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/energyguyana.gy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/520753603_1193850429210726_4746971408550481747_n-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/energyguyana.gy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/520753603_1193850429210726_4746971408550481747_n-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/energyguyana.gy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/520753603_1193850429210726_4746971408550481747_n-631x420.jpg 631w, https:\/\/energyguyana.gy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/520753603_1193850429210726_4746971408550481747_n-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/energyguyana.gy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/520753603_1193850429210726_4746971408550481747_n-1068x711.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/energyguyana.gy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/520753603_1193850429210726_4746971408550481747_n-1920x1279.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/energyguyana.gy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/520753603_1193850429210726_4746971408550481747_n.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a0First Lady, Mrs. Arya Ali and Public Relations Manager of GYSBI, Ms. Gomatie Gangadin signing the MOU at State House on Friday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRESS RELEASE&#8211;GEORGETOWN, Guyana \u2014 July 28, 2025&#8211;Guyana Shore Base Inc.
