Bahamas-based motivational speaker Dr. Myles Munroe has expressed disappointment that his scheduled trip to Guyana for the National Men’s Rally on Sunday was cancelled.
A press release on Wednesday from the National Family Commission (NFC) which had organized the trip quoted Munroe as saying “I have never before cancelled a booked trip over the past 30 years.”
The NFC release said that the cancellation was as a result of “miscommunication between the flight operations teams.”
Chairman of the NFC Dr. Kwame Gilbert, said in the press release that planning continues for the intervention and that a date would be announced shortly. The release said that the NFC is coordinating Munroe’s visit with funding being provided by a broad-based coalition of supporters. Included in this coalition are religious groups, corporate entities and individuals, the release stated.
Dr. Gilbert also said that, “I anticipate that, with the additional time available, our coalition will grow rapidly and the National Men’s Rally 2014 would be bigger than the almost 10,000 men who attended the 2010 rally. Given the crisis facing our families in Guyana, as demonstrated in an unprecedented spike in domestic and sexual violence, Dr. Munroe’s intervention remains both timely and necessary.”
