In its message on Arrival Day, the Alliance For Change says it is its hope that together all Guyanese can build a nation that will become a prosperous and permanent home and not one from which Guyanese will be forced to journey from again.
“By celebrating the arrival of all ethnic groups to Guyana, we are in fact celebrating an act which brought us all together”, the AFC said.
The party said that while the circumstances under which the ancestors arrived were deplorable “it is indeed a sign of their strength and resilience that we are still here to remember their arrival”.
The AFC acknowledged the hard work and sacrifice of those who endured the long voyages to Guyana and said it was proud to be part of the “rich cultural kaleidoscope that Guyana has become”.
