Police Youth Groups get face masks

…food hampers donated to Angoy’s Avenue residents

Members of the Police Youth Groups in R

egion Six (East Berbice-Corentyne) were on Sunday presented with face masks.
The parents of some of those children living in Mount Sinai, which is popularly referred to as Angoy’s Avenue, New Amsterdam, also received food hampers.
That community has been hard hit by the pandemic restrictions.
The closing of many businesses which are considered as non-essential resulted in many persons from that community being out of a job and scores only gaining part-time employment.
This coupled with an increase in the prices for many consumer items has seen many families, most of them single-parent families, in that community struggling. The hamper distribution was supported by the business community from Number 2 Village, East Canje.
