Faced with Linden’s youth concerns of the high unemployment rate coupled with the lack of recreational facilities, the not-for-profit organization, Linden Dream Team (LDT) is working towards bringing to the mining town a state-of-the-art facility geared at educating while providing leisure options to youths.
“Our long term goal is to open a Linden Youth Centre where we will have a state-of-the-art facility, an engine of growth, some place safe, where youths can come together and pursue educational and other skills, while having recreational amenities,” Chairperson of the LDT, Donette Adams told Stabroek News in an interview.
In the wake of the recently concluded Linden Town Week observances, Adams sat down with this newspaper and explained that the charitable organization is an outgrowth from the United States-based Linden Fund (LF) and that it undertakes ten days of charitable exercises during the Linden Town Week activities. (While the event is named Linden Town Week, activities are planned over a ten-day period).
