ERC continues 2025 Christmas toy distribution

The Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) continued its 2025 Christmas Toy Distribution on December 2, reaching children in Regions One (Barima-Waini), Five (Mahaica-Berbice) and Six (East Berbice-Corentyne) as part of its annual effort to promote goodwill and unity during the holiday season.

The initiative, which began on December 1, saw ERC Commissioners and staff visiting several schools to distribute toys and engage with pupils and teachers. Chairman Shaikh Moeenul Hack led the outreach, accompanied by Commissioners Chandrowtie Sarran, Deon Dick (Ras Khafra), Pandit Krishn Sharma, Reverend Rodwell Porter, CEO Gomin Camacho and ERC staff.
On Tuesday, the team travelled to Region One (Barima–Waini), meeting students and teachers at Wauna Nursery and Primary Schools. Earlier stops included Hopetown and Bushlot Nursery Schools in Region Five (Mahaica-Berbice), as well as Leeds Nursery and Primary and No. 48 Primary School in Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne).
The ERC said the distribution exercise aligns with its mandate to promote ethnic harmony and foster positive relations among Guyanese. By engaging students during the Christmas season, the Commission aims to reinforce values of sharing and unity.
According to the Commission, the toy distribution is intended to reach children across the country, including communities beyond the coastland. Additional distribution exercises are planned for the coming days as the ERC continues its holiday outreach.
