Essequibians hoist Golden Arrowhead on Mash Day

Feb 25, 2016 News

Despite a brief early morning shower, members of the Regional Democratic Council, Region 2 and members of the Disciplined Forces congregated in the compound of the Anna Regina Fire Station to observe Guyana’s 46th Republic Anniversary.
The event was slated for 8:00 hours.
Regional Executive Officer, Rupert Hopkinson, in his message to the assembly, among them students from the Anna Regina and Cotton Field Secondary Schools, emphasised that the national theme, “Celebrating of Diversity and Sovereignty”, suggests that for the first time in our nation we are embracing as a nation, directive, social cohesion”.
This theme, Hopkinson said, must be seen as a clear guide of how we as a nation should proceed as we seek to build this land. The words of this theme, Hopkinson said, holds special significance for Region Two.
“As your Regional Executive Officer, I endorse this theme, not only for this year’s observances but for years to come. The citizens of this Region must hold dear and be guided by the words of the theme in our daily lives.”
Hopkinson therefore encouraged the attendees to pursue vigorously from this time forward, a plan to put aside petty differences and old barriers while working with common goals as citizens of Region Two to improve the quality of their
lives.
The Official further encouraged Essequibians to take ownership of the Region. He explained that the Offices of the REO and Regional Chairman are there to listen and carry out the orders of the citizens of the Region “who hold figuratively the transport for this place because they are the real owners”.
Hopkinson expressed his gratitude and privilege to be a part of the flag raising ceremony moreso with the theme where national unity is akin to an instruction to the nation.
He reminded that the hoisting of “our flag” symbolises Guyana as a proud nation.”Let us not be prisoners of history, let us not rehash a sordid past. Let us work together to create new and better possibilities, new and better opportunities, a new and better environment for this region, indeed our nation.”
Region Two Chairman, Devenand Ramdat, encouraged the attendees to work together, especially in the developmental aspect to enhance the Region. He reminded Essequibians to see themselves as partners of the Regional Democratic Council. (Yannason Duncan)
