…Commander Clifton Hicken gets manicure for his birthday

MORE than sixteen young ladies from the Albouystown community, on Monday, completed the basics in cosmetology, compliments of the Heavenly Light World Outreach Fellowship and the Guyana Police Force.

The young ladies were visited by ‘A’ Division Commander Clifton Hicken on Monday who got a surprise manicure of both of his hands as a birthday gift. Hicken celebrated his birthday yesterday (Tuesday).

Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle in Albouystown, one young lady could not cease thanking the police and the church for empowering her with the cosmetology skills, and she is already looking to learn more about the course so that she can start her own establishment.

Another young lady said that prior to the course, she would usually be at home with nothing to do and since she has been taking part in the course, she found it a real joy.

One of the trainers who spoke with this publication explained that the young ladies were all upbeat about the entire initiative and from all indications, are willing to learn more about cosmetology.

The course began on June 10th and will be completed later this month. They will be issued with certificates and will be guests at a luncheon hosted by Commander Hicken on Thursday.

Sometime this week, an overseas based Guyanese who once resided in Albouystown will be visiting Guyana and has indicated to the police that he is willing to purchase twelve pieces of equipment for a permanent training facility for young ladies interested in cosmetology. The items include work stations and chairs, among other items.
