The Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport recently received a donation of 16 musical and wind instruments from Food for the Poor (Guyana) Inc. to assist with the formation of a band for Carifesta in August.

According to a Government Information Agency press release Minister Frank Anthony has expressed his gratitude for the drums, trumpets, saxophones and flutes which cost approximately $3.5 million.
Food for the Poor Executive Director, Leon Davis said that his organization benefits from working with the Culture Ministry because of “its thrust towards youth development,” and urged that Guyanese music be played at Carifesta so that it can be promoted beyond the event.
