Dr. Joshua Safeek is a Guyana native with a long track record of philanthropic endeavors. He proved this charitable nature in 2014 when he and his company, Caricom Bottling Company Inc. donated three million dollars to the newly re-established Guyana Festival.

His company's abundantly generous donation served to allow festival planners the opportunity to provide larger venues, more entertainment, and better performances for festival-goers. The Guyana Festival was a raging success thanks to his financial contribution.

With recent changes in the Guyana government, and new officials taking office, the Guyana Festival was not able to be held in 2015. There are plans in the works for an even bigger and better Guyana Festival to happen in 2016. This date will coincide with the country's fiftieth anniversary of independence from Britain in the fall.

The purpose of the festival is to showcase the country and culture of Guyana, a nation that is trying to grow its tourism potential. Events and offerings during the Guyana Festival include live music, local cuisine, and many different art forms. Dr. Joshua Safeek thoroughly enjoyed his time at the first festival and cannot wait to attend the next.

The 2014 Guyana Festival was held at the National Stadium over a period of three days with thousands of local and traveling visitors. Many are hoping that the next event will be held not only in the city of Georgetown, but also have offshoots in other smaller, less populated areas. This thinking serves the idea that the Guyana Festival should be established as a national holiday.

There is no word yet on how much Dr. Joshua Safeek might donate this year to the bigger Guyana Festival, but regardless it is assured that he will be in attendance. Along with his friends and colleagues from Caricom Bottling Company Inc., he has given freely and often to many local and international societies and groups. Some of these charities include local churches and orphanages, the United Way, and the Red Cross. His philanthropic efforts have earned him much esteem among peers and noted articles in the press that he is proud of.
