GPSU’s Message of Condolences to the Bereaved Families & Community

It is with great sadness that the Guyana Public Service Union learnt of the unfortunate loss of approximately twenty budding scholars of our nation. The trauma on the families, relatives and friends of the deceased is shared by us all. The ill-fated circumstances leading to the demise of these children is a lesson that would ensure that there should never, ever again, be a recurrence of this kind. A small nation in need of its peoples, but carelessly surrendering the lives of so many is but an abomination. Guyana can ill afford this wonton loss of life, especially so many of these promising souls snatched by death at such tender ages. May their souls rest in peace and rise in glory.

The Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU) conveys its condolences to the bereaved families, relatives, friends, and the entire Mahdia community, hoping that the Almighty that took their children from the trials of mankind would grant them solace, strength and courage.

GPSU prays that the Government of Guyana, Regional Administrations, Education Departments, among others, use the circumstances of this horrific loss as a tool for future corrective measures, to ensure that there is never a recurrence.
