Triplets Radha, Rajshri and Reenica Mansaran of Land of Plenty, Essequibo Coast turned 19 on Saturday last and celebrated on Sunday with a church service and the donation of a food hamper to a less fortunate family in the area.
Born to Devika Persaud, 19 years ago at the Woodlands Hospital in Georgetown, the girls who were described as kind, obedient and loving, grew up on the Essequibo Coast.
Their proud mother recalled: “When I went into labour, the doctor didn’t know it was triplets. But then after a little while he said I will be having triplets.”
She said it was difficult but she managed. “I was living with their father in Georgetown… and I couldn’t take his attitude so we separated and I came to live in Essequibo. All of their schooling was right here in Essequibo and by God’s grace we made it through.” Persaud and her children moved to Land of Plenty
