Overseas-based Guyanese spearhead outreaches countrywide

Jul 24, 2013 News

A recently established body called ‘Partners in Christ’ has already started its outreach programme here in Guyana.
It commenced on Monday last (July 22) and will continue through August 6 in Berbice, Essequibo and Demerara.
The group consists of 49 persons from several churches in the United States of America. Since it was formed by mostly Guyanese living abroad, the group decided to conduct its inaugural mission here.
The aim of the group is to spread the word of God through the various outreaches. The activities are being funded by way of donations (both individually and by churches),and fundraisers.
A number of areas will be targeted and each will be spearheaded by various professionals (Economists, Doctors, Nurses, etc) within the group, its Secretary, Dionne Kowlessar said during a press conference yesterday.
Special emphasis will be placed on Youth. There will be a few basketball matches with teams from the US playing against locals. There will be two concerts. Medical booths will be set up to do screenings and diagnosis, as well as provide education and counseling on issues affecting the human body, as well as ways to not only prevent sicknesses, but also how to live and deal with the various kinds, including HIV and AIDS.
Dental care will also be administered.
The group plans to turn this into an annual outreach programme, not just in Guyana, but across the world.
