CHRISTMAS is synonymous with goodwill, cheer and giving, and in keeping with the spirit of the season, the People’s Progressive Party, through Legal Affairs Minister and Attorney General, Anil Nandlall, yesterday brought smiles to the faces of many children and senior citizens at a Christmas party at Annandale, East Coast of Demerara.

There was joy in the children’s faces as they were entertained by dramatic performances, and welcomed a gift bearing Santa Claus.
The elderly were serenaded by classical, as well as traditional Christmas songs and carols while they enjoyed a sumptuous lunch, which Minister Nandlall assisted in serving. Hampers were also presented to the elderly, while sweets and other goodies were distributed to the children.
“I want to recognise a contribution from His Excellency, Donald Ramotar, especially in the children’s part of the proceedings, and the members of the Annandale PPP group for their part in this initiative,” Minister Nandlall told the gathering.

The hampers for the elderly were made possible through the kind compliments of Mr. ‘Bun’ Seepersaud, whose generosity has been seen yearly.
“At the end of every year, we pay special attention to our children, we pay special attention to our senior citizens in particular because of the work they have done in the past, and in relation to the children, the work we expect them to do in the future. Our country has to be built by you, the children, and you are building upon a foundation which was built by the contributions of our senior citizens, and that is why the government ensures that special provisions are made in the budget for both young people, as well as our senior citizens,” the Attorney General stated.
