The Caribbean Royal Shining Star Youth and Humanitarian Organiza-tion on Wednesday treated the public to a short dance display at the 1763 Monument in commemoration of Guyana’s 55th Independence anniversary.
The group was founded on the 11th of June 1983 at the Smith’s Memorial Congregational Church on Brickdam, Georgetown. Then they were called ‘The Shining Star Youth Club’ and at the time it was founded, there were 13 boys who were members of the group.
They are an offshoot of the boy scouts. Founder of the organisation, Edward Singh, noted that there are fifty-six members in total from age seven up. However, in keeping with the COVID-19 protocols as well as due to Wednesday’s heavy showers, only a small group of about ten persons showed up for the display.
