The East Berbice Sugar Workers Relief Committee yesterday distributed 500 food hampers, with an estimated total value of $2 million, to severed sugar workers in the Upper Corentyne Area.
Despite heavy showers, hundreds gathered at Line Path in hopes of receiving a hamper.
Adrian Anamayah, who heads the committee, stressed that the hampers were possible through donations from a number of business persons and others throughout the country. “This was no small task in getting all of this put together. There [were] small and large contributions and we must thank those persons who donated,” he added.
