Having distributed more than 2,000 kites over the past two weeks, President David Granger yesterday indulged a bit in the Easter tradition during a walkabout in the National Park.
According to a Ministry of the Presidency press release, in brief comments to the media, the President noted that he has been to several parts of the country over the past two weeks distributing kites to children.
“I am sure that the children from up the Pomeroon to right up the Demerara River to Malali, have gotten kites all the way to the East Coast Demerara, Parika, Essequibo Islands, so I have had great fun meeting children and I am sure today they will be flying kites all over Guyana.
So I would like to wish everybody a Happy Easter,” he was quoted as saying.
Over the past two weeks, the release said, the President visited communities in the Pomeroon River, Pomeroon-Supenaam (Region Two), Leguan, Wakenaam and Parika, in the Essequbibo Islands-West Demerara (Region Three), Buxton and Lusignan, in Demerara-Mahaica (Region Four), Bartica in Cuyuni-Mazaruni (Region Seven) and Muritaro and Malali villages in Upper Demerara-Berbice (Region Ten).
Yesterday he was able to interact with hundreds of Guyanese, who came out to partake in the traditional kite flying and picnicking in celebration of Easter.
