In solidarity:

In solidarity: Over 100 citizens participated in a candlelight vigil at the corner of Robb Street and Avenue of the Republic last evening in support of earthquake-devastated Haiti. The Guyana Red Cross Society in collaboration with the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry organized the event. After listening to a few words from a Bank representative, the citizens went on a Solidarity March along a few city streets. In this Orlando Charles photo, the participants listen as a Bank representative speaks on the Haitian tragedy.
