India’s Lil Champs to arrive this week
India’s little singing sensations, better known as “Lil Champs,” are due to arrive in Guyana this week for what is being touted as an unforgettable show.
Afsha Musani
Hemant
The singers were slated to perform in early May as guests of the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha. However, the unavailability of flights caused the show to be postponed. Now, the Sabha is ready to host the Lil Champs once again.
The young singers, Hemant, Shreyas and Yatharth will perform alongside the little Bak Bak machine, Afsha Musani, accompanied by musicians from India. The Dharmic Nritya Sangh, dance troupe of Guyana Hindu Dharmic, will be performing vibrant dances in the lively programme planned for next Saturday at the Starlite Drive-in Cinema, East Coast Demerara.
After the no-show of the Lil Champs in May, the Sabha began making every effort to bring the artistes to Guyana, said Dr Vindhya Persaud.
She said the date was recently confirmed with ZEETV and all arrangements are in place. The performers are set to arrive in Suriname on Monday from India. They will be in Guyana on August 7 to prepare for the show on August 8.
Yathart
Tickets are $3000 and $1500 and are on sale at Bhagwan’s Water Street, Harrinarine’s- Regent Street, The Dharmic Kendra- Prashad Nagar and the Murti Shop – West Coast Demerara.
The Sabha has said there will be lots to eat and drink and games for the children. Strictly no alcohol is allowed at the event.
Shreyasi
The Sabha has thanked its sponsors Digicel, E-Networks and Sankar’s Auto Sales.

GPHC awaits post mortem into teen’s death
The Georgetown Public Hospital has said that it will not issue a conclusive statement in relation to an article carried in this publication on Thursday and captioned “Teen with ‘flu-like’ symptoms dies suddenly.” The hospital said that tests are still being run.
On Thursday last, 17 year-old Enrico Jerrick died while being treated at the Georgetown Public Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit.
The teen’s mother, Leslyn Monize, told this newspaper that initially she was told that her son, upon admission to the institution, was being treated for Leptospirosis. She was subsequently told that the child was being treated for malaria.
The child was admitted to the institution after he complained of pains about the body, fever and vomiting.
The teen’s relatives said they are awaiting the results of the post mortem so that their many questions can be answered.
