In keeping with its ongoing commitment to national development, the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) recently welcomed students from over a dozen schools across the country. These visits form part of the Force’s broader mandate to foster strong community relations and promote national pride through educational outreach.

Over the past few weeks, enthusiastic students from Zee Zight, Calcutta, West Watooka, Northbrook, One Mile, and Seafield Nursery Schools, as well as Forth Ordnance and Cropper Primary Schools, Mackenzie High School, and Canje Secondary School, were hosted at various GDF locations. The tours offered a unique opportunity for students to gain firsthand insight into the workings of the Defence Force, its various units, and the critical role it plays in safeguarding the nation.

By opening its doors to the youth, the GDF not only demystifies its operations but also strengthens the bridge between the military and civilian populations. It is a chance for young minds to see the values of patriotism and responsibility in action.
