TWENTY youths from Agricola, East Bank Demerara, among them a lone male, graduated last Saturday from a twelve-week basic cookery class which was sponsored by Commissioner of Police Seelall Persaud through his ‘A’ Division Commander Clifton Hicken.

At a simple “taste and eat” function, the graduates treated the management team of the Police ‘A’ Division and several persons from the community who had gathered to share in the proud moment.
The event was held at the Agricola Industrial Arts Centre, the venue of the twelve-week course, where one of the cookery class tutors, Ziska Williams, expressed her gratitude on behalf of her students and the entire community of Agricola.

She used the opportunity also to request that the young people be given an opportunity to attend advance cookery classes to elevate their skills.
And the request was granted by Commander Hicken who encouraged the teacher to seek other children from the community who would want to join the elementary cookery class.
There are currently twenty-six persons who have expressed an interest in being part of the new classes which would commence in January, according to Williams.

GRADUATION SOCIAL
Meanwhile, Commander Hicken announced that the police would like to show their appreciation of the dedication displayed by the graduating class and so today a social will

be held in their honour when they will receive their certificates and stipends, compliments of the Guyana Police Force.
On Saturday those present at the event were treated to beverages, deserts, finger food, and other delicacies which were all prepared by the young people under the supervision of their two tutors, Ziska Williams and June Taylor.
