First Lady, Sandra Granger yesterday held a graduation ceremony to mark the conclusion of a one-month Instruction on Table Management and Menu Planning course for the staff at State House.

A release from the Ministry of the Presidency said that the course was a collaboration between the Office of the First Lady and the Guyana Defence Force (GDF). It saw 16 staff members being certified in hygiene rules, table etiquette, menu planning, hospitality, constituents of food and food groups, and the use of the “multimix” principles.  This capacity building exercise was conducted from November 9-December 9, 2016 and is the first of several training opportunities that the First Lady plans for staff members, the release said.
