Youth group entertains 800 children and the elderly

Jan 05, 2014 News

 
The Department of Human Services and Social Security of the Guyana National Council on Public Policy (GNCPP) entertained some 800 children and elderly citizens in the auditorium of the Critchlow Labour College (CLC) and on the Lawns of the GRRC/Bookland facility on Woolford Avenue, Thomas Lands, last Sunday.
The occasion was the GNCPP’s Annual Seasonal Celebration of Thanksgiving that features the distribution of gifts, food and entertainment provided by cartoon characters, comedians, singers and musicians.
The GNCCP comprises a group of young Guyanese led by Dr. PHILIP MOZART THOMAS, Guyanese Social Scientist and International Corporate Lawyer.
GNCPP is organised as a NON-GOVERNMENT, CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANISATION which was founded in March 2010. In part, the mission is to work on educating and mobilizing all Guyanese citizens in terms of their RIGHTS, as provided by the Constitution.
The GNCCP is working with all local and international Guyanese Civil Society groups to pursue economic liberation and social justice on an equal basis, among other objectives, and to bring about change for a better quality of life for all Guyanese.
The GNCPP is also a policy-oriented Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) committed to developing a prestigious and influential Guyanese Think Tank whilst attempting, at the same time to organize other NGO’s to pursue their mandates and objectives independently.
The Sunday Entertainment Extravaganza was one activity to usher in similar projects throughout Guyana in 2014. The GNCPP’s 2014 also include the provision of clothing, electronic learning devices for the needy as well as the launching of a National Civil Society Conference. On Sunday, despite showers, the residents of 28 orphanages, nine Senior Citizens Homes, Faith-based schools from as far as Kuru-Kururu, Soesdyke, Craig, Supply, Victoria, Cornelia Ida, Melanie Damishana, Linden, Supply and Georgetown “flooded” the grounds and auditorium with sounds of joys and contentment as the very young mixed with the very senior.
It is intended to repeat this thanksgiving entertainment extravaganza in communities across the country throughout the year to coincide sometimes with the launching of GNCPP Church-Kitchen Pantries.
