Home News Sol Guyana spreads Easter cheer with kite donation to Agricola children
Sol Guyana continued its annual tradition of community outreach this Easter with the donation of 170 kites to school-aged children in Agricola, one of Guyana’s oldest and most resilient communities.
The event, which featured music, snacks, a visit from the Easter Bunny, and the enthusiastic participation of Sol employees, brought smiles and joy to dozens of children and families in the area.
As more than just a seasonal gesture, the initiative reflects Sol’s commitment to supporting its fence-line communities, particularly youths.
“We are incredibly grateful for the commitment Sol has shown to the community over the years,” said Elizabeth William-Niles, a community leader in Agricola. “Their consistent contributions have made a significant impact in helping to improve the lives of the kids in this community.”
General Manager of Sol Guyana, Earl Carribon, reaffirmed the company’s connection to Agricola by stating, “This community holds a special place in our hearts. Easter is a time of renewal and reflection, and what better way to honour that than by investing in the next generation, while helping to keep the cultural tradition of kite-flying alive?”
Sol Guyana’s partnership with Agricola spans more than a decade, and includes past projects such as refurbishing the Agricola Primary School Library, donating school supplies and equipment, hosting safety talks, and organizing annual back-to-school and Christmas drives.
The company is encouraging other stakeholders and businesses to support local initiatives and help foster strong, sustainable communities across Guyana.
