THE REGION 2 Department of Youth, Sports and Culture has collaborated with the Anna Regina Multilateral School’s President’s Youth Award Republic of Guyana [PYARG] Unit to paint a bus shed and pedestrian crossing on the Golden Fleece public road in front of the Fisher Primary School.

This activity was done as part of Labour Day activities on the Essequibo Coast, and the paint for the two projects was provided by the Region 2 Administration.

Youth, Sports and Culture Officer, Mr. Herald Alves, said the pedestrian crossing and bus shed were painted by the PYARG members as part of community projects, and that members can further qualify for the Youth Award Programme in either Bronze, Silver or Gold by participating in community projects.

Mr. Alves thanked the PYARG members for the excellent job they did and for their effort in accomplishing the tasks. He said that during the month of May, the Youth, Sports and Culture Department would collaborate with the President’s Youth Award Programme to involve them in several activities.

Alves disclosed that, on May 23rd, an Impromptu Speech competition will be held; while on May 24th and 25th, the PYARG Essequibo unit will host its Bronze qualifying expedition at Mainstay and Tapakuma.
