A FUN-day held at the Santa Rosa Parish, in Region One (Barima-Waini) on Saturday was a “great community event,” according to Minister of Amerindian Affairs, Ms Pauline Sukhai. Minister Sukhai, a team from the Amerindian Affairs Ministry and the villagers who attended the event had the chance to enjoy a fun-day, which included a food and clothes sale and novelty games for prices. The activity was held to raise funds in aid of the restoration of the church.

Minister Sukhai, whose visit was also in response to the Parish’s request for toys for the children in the community, said that it was heartening to see so many gathered for the event.
The Minister noted that it is always important that every member of a community seeks to contribute and support the various levels of activities in their community, be it a religious or a sporting event.
“Your community belongs to you; you are part and parcel of your community, and whatever is your community’s image, it is a reflection of you the people,” she told residents at the fun-day, adding that the success of every event in the village will be as a result of the villagers’ contribution.(GINA)
