Another UG library donation from the Allys'

 

GUYANESE-born Professor Dr. Shamir Ally and his American wife, Dr. Maryann Ally, recently donated another collection of 355 textbooks to the University of Guyana library at its Turkeyen campus, East Coast Demerara.

The textbooks, in the areas of Accounting, Finance, Management and Economics, are valued at US$35,500.

Dr. Ally, who completed his BBA, MBA and Ph.D in the United States where he currently resides, has always been a staunch supporter of the University of Guyana library and his contributions to its holdings have been invaluable.

For the past three years, Dr. Shamir and his wife have donated 576 textbooks to the UG Library, valued at approximately US$50,000, mostly in the areas of Accounting, Finance, Management and Economics.

The recent donation is their largest to date. Laparkan, NY, shipped the textbooks at reduced cost.

A very grateful library administration extended sincere gratitude to Drs. Shamir and Maryann Ally and, on behalf of the wider University community, accepted their donation with thanks.

Dr. Ally, who is also President and Chief Executive Officer of his company, International Consulting and Financial Services in Pennsylvania in the United States, with business/travles in 69 countries on five continents, is a firm believer in education and the promotion of education.
