THE First Lady Foundation yesterday celebrated Father’s Day, albeit belatedly, with residents of The Palms Geriatric Home on Brickdam, Georgetown, along with youths of the Progressive Youth Organistation (PYO).

First Lady, Madame Deolatchmee Ramotar, has taken the lead through her Foundation, and dedicated her time and energies owards the promotion of positive family life with the aid of the other members of the organisation.
The First Lady, in commemoration of Father’s Day, distributed food and gifts to the fathers at The Palms. The objective, she said, is to let them know that they have not been forgotten. “We (the First Lady Foundation) want them to know that they are remembered,” she said.
Since this event coincided with Ramadan, the First Lady also presented gifts to the Muslim Community to offer as Zakat al-Fitr (charity given to the poor at the end of the fasting in the Islamic holy month of Ramadan).
