RUBIS Guyana Inc. recently sponsored over 800 copies of the Guyana Energy Agency (GEA)
booklet entitled, ‘What is Energy’.
Ms. Rhonda Johnson, Retail Account Executive, RUBIS said, “We were pleased to support the efforts of GEA as they work towards educating our youth about the importance of energy in their lives and to foster robust discussions around the topic.” She added, “RUBIS places great emphasis on educational development regionally and we jumped at this opportunity to do the same in Guyana.”
