As the year winds down and Guyanese prepare to usher in 2017, President David Granger is urging citizens to hold strong to the value of fellowship which he said is best exemplified at Christmas time.
A release from the Ministry of the Presidency said that the President made the remarks yesterday at Onderneeming Village, West Coast Berbice, where he distributed Christmas gifts to over 300 children.
The President said that, “Christmas is about faithfulness and fellowship. We forget our differences, we forget our religion, we forget racial differences, we forget geographical differences and we all come together and we look forward to living a good life in this country… [And] as we plan for the New Year we must hold certain values.”
He urged the children to stay in school and said that the Christmas gifts are a demonstration of his Administration’s love and concern for children.
“It is a token of our faith for the future and it is a token of our commitment to you to make sure that Guyana remains a land of plenty that is capable of providing a good life,” he said.
