Members of the ‘Georgetown District’ of the Progressive Youth Organisation (PYO) – the youth arm of the ruling People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C), has answered the call made by the Hon. Minister of Agriculture Mr. Robert Persaud for Volunteers to participate in the expansive and very important ‘Mangrove Restoration Programme’ that is currently ongoing.
On Sunday last, 25 PYO members from Georgetown (as seen in photo above) participated in a Mangrove Planting Exercise  at the La Bonne Intention (LBI) Foreshore on the East Coast of Demerara where they planted in excess of  600 Mangrove Plants.
The Members of the Georgetown PYO would like to urge other youth organizations to participate in this exercise which is vital in our fight against climate change.
