First Lady Sandra Granger on Friday attended the closing ceremony of the Self-Reliance and Success in Business workshop in Mahaica-Berbice (Region Five) from which 44 persons graduated.

A release from the Ministry of the Presidency said that the event was held in the Regional Board Room, Fort Wellington, Berbice.

The First Lady praised the participants for successfully completing the training and believing in themselves.  “You are the people who make these workshops possible and successful.  It starts with you believing in yourself first and in your capacity to do things and move on and develop [by] believing in lifelong education,” Mrs. Granger said.
