ERC spreads Christmas cheer to Region 3 students

The Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) on Friday, December 5, extended its annual Christmas Toy Distribution Drive, bringing festive cheer to five schools across Region Three for the 2025 holiday season.
As part of its ongoing commitment to fostering peace, harmony and good relations among all Guyanese, the Commission is using this season to connect with the younger generation and share in the joy and meaning of Christmas, the ERC noted in its Saturday press release, as it continues to affirm that the spirit of spreading joy and kindness is central to our Guyanese identity and transcends every ethnic, cultural and geographic boundary.
The ERC’s team, which included Commissioners Dwayne Adams, Ashton Simon, Ras Khafra, Pt Krishn Sharma and Norris Witter, along with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Gomin Camacho and secretariat staff, visited Parika Back Nursery, Parika Nursery, Crane Nursery, Vreed-en-Hoop Nursery No. 2 and Stewartville Primary to distribute toys to pupils. The Christmas season, it stated, provides a timely opportunity for the Commission to reinforce the values of unity, love, and generosity.
Through this initiative, the ERC says, it aims not only to brighten the holidays for children but also to demonstrate that acts of kindness continue to be the threads that bind our diverse nation together. The Commission remains committed to promoting ethnic harmony and security throughout Guyana and extends warm season’s greetings to all families and teachers across the country, the statement added.
