PYO is 60 years old

Sep 11, 2012 News

The Progressive Youth Organisation on Sunday concluded a successful series of activities to mark its 60th anniversary to become the oldest youth movement in Guyana.
Yesterday saw several groups of the PYO in various regions on the coastland participating in the nationwide pick it up campaign in several communities. There were among other activities in Regions Two, Three, Four, Five and Six.
This is in line with the efforts by the PYO to spread awareness regarding one of our modern challenges which is an increase in the generation of waste and improper disposal habits, particularly in the more populated housing areas.
Groups from Region Two also conducted a tree-planting exercise in keeping with Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy drive but also to maintain the structural integrity of roads next to some of the main drainage canals in Affiance, Essequibo Coast.
A coordinated effort between the Diamond/Grove  PPP and PYO groups also resulted in a massive cleanup campaign of the Diamond Diagnostic Centre compound.
Over in Region Three, the PYO spearheaded an initiative at Leonora, WCD to restore the monument of Kowsilla, a martyr who was killed on March 6, 1964.
The activities commenced on Sunday, September 2, 2012 in a national road safety drive with the painting and repainting of pedestrian crossings along the coastland.
Lectures on the history of the PYO were also hosted by the Lethem PYO group in Region Nine and at Anna Regina in Region Two among others.
The main activity was a grand cultural show at Red House, Main Street on September 6, 2012 which saw the participation of several diverse PYO groups from across the country. The large audience was addressed by His Excellency President Donald Ramotar among several other leaders.
The Progressive Youth Organisation wishes to thank all those who participated or supported its activities which were all designed to promote the various skills and volunteerism of our youth in Guyana.
