East Canje African Group Emancipation celebrations on today

Aug 03, 2019 News

As emancipation activities continue around the country, the action switches to East Canje for a parade and road show, today. The parade would be along the East Canje public Road
The East Canje African Association has organized a packed programme of activities in observance of this year’s Emancipation celebrations.
The group has been making considerable strides over the years and this year’s celebrations are expected to be the biggest so far.
Some years ago the need arose for the community to have its own activity after members of the area had to trek to different parts of Guyana to be a part of the yearly emancipation events.
According to the organisers this is the 12th year that the activity will be held in the East Canje district.
The day’s activity is expected to kick off at 09:00 hrs with a Road Show and parade through the villages of East Canje. It starts at Cumberland village and proceed to Betsy Ground to end at Goed Bananen Land.
At the venue a formal programme will include a number of cultural activities and a stage show. The gathering will indulge in reliving the folk lore of the African culture through drumming, African dancing, storytelling, folk songs, skits, and poems among others.
All of the activities will be free of charge, but whatever funding is realized during the day will be used by the group to help in the enhancement of the African culture in the area.
