Square of the Revolution targeted for clean-up today

Feb 16, 2013 News

The Ghana Day Committee and friends, are set to launch the ‘Pick It Up’ campaign today at Square of the Revolution in Georgetown. Volunteers will clear the area of litter and landscape it in time for the hosting of events to mark the 250th anniversary of the 1763 Berbice Rebellion.
The milestone anniversary will be celebrated on February 23.
“It saddens me to see plastic bottles, food boxes and wrappers scattered around the Square. There is simply no excuse. We have decided to clean up the area, home of the 1763 Monument for the hosting of upcoming events in honour of our national hero, Cuffy, who led the 1763 Berbice Revolt and changed the course of history,” said Amanda Wilson, Co-ordinator of the project.
Many Guyanese use Square of the Revolution, from excited brides and grooms to driving instructors, pupils and families. “ I am calling on individuals, local groups and businesses to participate in this clean up exercise,” Wilson said
Clean up starts from 7 a.m. sharp. The necessary tools and refreshments will be provided.
