The President did not forget gifts for the children.

In delivering the speech on behalf of His Excellency President Bharrat Jagdeo, Region Six Chairman, Zulfikar Mustapha, told the children of steps taken by Government to ensure a brighter future for children.

Following the parties, the children at the Alpha Home at Gay Park, Canaan Home at Port Mourant and the Camal Home for the Homeless were given their share of presents.
