OUR sincerest apology for unwittingly referring to the children residing at the New Opportunity Corps (NOC) on the Essequibo Coast as ‘inmates’ in an article carried on Page 13 of yesterday’s edition of the Chronicle, titled ‘Anyone who wants to do better, we are here for you…’As was so aptly pointed out by the person who brought the slight to our attention, “words can be deflating when used inappropriately.”

We regret the error, and promise to be more selective in our choice of words in future when addressing sensitive issues.
