Minister Benn honoured by female aviator

1st November, 2013

KINGSTON - The Public Works Minister was gifted with a plaque featuring stamps of women who were instrumental in breaking down barriers in Guyana’s aviation sector.

Avette Richards, sister of Brenda Richards presented Hon. Benn with the plaque on October 29, 2013 at his Wrights Lane’s office.

According to Avette, her sister thought it was a fitting gesture to the Minister since he has been an advocate for pushing women to excel in the once dubbed “man’s world”.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Brenda Richards was unable to give Minister Benn the memorabilia herself.
