“As Guyanese, we share in each other’s holidays and observances with love and kindness regardless of our own religion. As a people, this is one of the best parts of our Guyanese culture. The season is a time for togetherness, generosity, and community,” the Chairman stated.
“We are honoured to bring happiness to these children and reinforce the values of unity and inclusion that guide our work year-round.”
The ERC extends its gratitude to its commissioners, staff, volunteers, and community leaders who made this initiative possible. Together, they exemplify the true meaning of the season – spreading kindness and fostering connections that strengthen communities.
