Food For The Poor (Guyana) Inc. Plaisance Committee recently held a public distribution activity for the benefit of over 50 cane and cash crop farmers from several East Coast Demerara communities.
The charitable organization said in a press release that in an attempt to address pressing needs of residents of Plaisance and its environs, and considering the impact of current rainfall on farming, it handed out a number of implements, including shovels, pick axes, machetes, hoes, forks, files and a wheel barrow. In addition, the farmers who were drawn from Plaisance, Better Hope, Success, Mon Repos, and Goedverwagting received rain boots and items of clothing.
