Children of East Coast Demerara communities spanning from Better Hope to La Bonne Intention (LBI), particularly those from less fortunate homes, were presented with kites by the Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC).
Chairman of the NDC, Zaman Shaw, said the annual event saw some 1500 kites being distributed over a one-week period with the kind support of friends and well-wishers. The previous year only 600 were distributed.
Shaw said the annual distribution always touches families, especially the

recipients, the children. Because of this, the distribution continues to get continuous support.
“Not only do we remember the children at Easter time, but also we have supported several parties at Christmas. We do regular bursaries for their outstanding performances at CSEC and the NGSA,” he added.
Shaw said the distribution of kites this year is just a mere reaffirmation of the Council’s willingness to continue to be in good relations with the families and residents of the NDC.
“The Chairman, Councillors and Staff wish to express greetings on the occasion of Easter, and urge that the togetherness and genuine appreciation for each other that is exhibited during the celebrations can remain with us throughout the year,” he ended.
