OVER 2000 children were on Sunday treated to an Easter extravaganza by city businessmen in keeping with an annual tradition of theirs.

The event was held at “The Garage” on Aubrey Barker Road in South Ruimveldt, thanks to the owner of that facility and the proprietor of Dynasty Sports Bar.

It marked the fourth consecutive year that children have been feted and treated to a day of fun and surprises at the South Ruimveldt eatery.

Owner of “The Garage”, Mr. Estwick Northe said that this year they prepared for 2000 children, as opposed to the past when preparations were made for only a thousand.

Kids received kites, meals and other surprises and were entertained by music.

Northe told the Guyana Chronicle, “As a businessman, once you’re making money, you have to give back to the society in some way. And I believe by doing this, we can share happiness to the youths of today.”

Since the establishment of “The Garage”, Northe said he’s always, about this time of year, feted over 500 children.

That number, he said, has since grown over the years, and he now anticipates having to cater for more than 2000 children come next year.

Adults in attendance lauded the businessmen for what he is doing, and called on the rest of society to join in the spreading of joy, not only at this time of the year, but also whenever the need arises.
