THE Children’s Costume Road Parade, which yesterday culminated the children’s Mashramani programme for 2014, can aptly be described as a kaleidoscope of vibrant colours, as thousands of children, accompanied by adults and elderly folks, who braved the hot sun and intermittent rain to enjoy the spectacle and celebrate the parade in true Guyanese style.

With more than 50 entries for this year’s parade, it was a delight to see our children make their costumes come to life as they depicted the current issues in Guyana, or our folklore, with the vibrancy and vigour of youth.
Proceedings commenced at the Parade Ground at Carmichael & Middle Streets in Georgetown, and the procession wended its way into Camp Street, then into Lamaha Street and then into Albert Street before entering the National Park, where the costumes were finally judged.
Among those witnessing this event at the National Park were Minister of Culture, Youth & Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony; Minister of Education, Ms Priya Manickchand; officials of the sponsor, Guyana Telephone and Telegraph (GT&T)company and Mashramani Committee members and coordinators.
