Having declared the recently-concluded National Toshaos Council (NTC) conference a success, Chair of the NTC Toshao Joel Fredricks says that the body has been given insight into the level work that must be done in addressing issues facing the Indigenous Peoples of Guyana.
Speaking at a press conference yesterday in the boardroom of the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs, Fredericks described this year’s conference as one of “great significant change,” since it was the first time since the establishment of the NTC that the members were allowed to chair the annual event.
“This conference, this year, was a conference of great significant change…it is the first time in history that the NTC has chaired their own conference…for many years, the NTC has been building capacity and here we have been given the chance to demonstrate what we have learnt from attending different workshops,” the Chairman said.
