Agricola Caregivers group working to make life easier for seniors

The Agricola Caregivers Great Movement Association is located next door to the St. Anne’s Primary School in Agricola. President of the Association, Sis Ingrid Cadle said that the shop pictured here was opened to raise funds for the association.

Over the years, the Agricola Caregivers Great Movement Association has been instrumental in helping to make life easier for one of the most vulnerable groups in society—the elderly.

Located next to the St. Anne’s Primary School in Agricola, East Bank of Demerara, the non-governmental organisation focuses on not only the wellbeing of the elderly in the community, but also those in other East Bank communities. They also aid in the guidance of the youths in these communities.

“When it is their (elderly) birthday we bake a cake, take a card, take their photograph, sing for them and have a little party for them and we started to have fun day for the seniors,” President of the Association Sister Ingrid Cadle said in a recent interview with Stabroek News.
