The Children’s Road Mash 2013 was wonderful, but…

Feb 22, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
Quite to my delight the Children’s Road Mash 2013 was wonderful. However, there are still recurring situations that are not yet taken into consideration all these years later.
Three children from the National School of Dance fainted. When rushed to the Georgetown Hospital, they were dehydrated, a sad situation.
It is time that we are proactive and not reactive, this is the 21st century, and we’re on this big tourism mambo.
Therefore I suggest the following:-
(a) Supplies of Water – water (not very cold) should be provided along the parade route. We have enough manufacturers of water in this country, not to have an adequate supply for the participants on that day. At least four points on Middle and Lamaha Streets on each side of those streets, and two point on Camp Street.
(b) Portable Toilets – one of the reasons for the children being dehydrated was because they were afraid to imbibe, as there was no place to get rid of the natural waste. With all these suppliers of portable toilets, I am sure that donations can be solicited in this regard.
(c) Medical Personnel – at least two such personnel should accompany each group (depending on the size), and be readily identifiable with adequate medical supplies.
In tandem, medical tents on each street along the parade route, i.e. Middle, Camp and Lamaha Streets, and a clearly identifiable medical booth with adequate personnel in the National Park, because when the children fainted in the National Park there wasn’t medical personnel available, or a medical booth.
