RESIDENTS of the Indigenous community of Karawab, located some 65 miles from Charity in the Upper Pomeroon River, are loud in praise and gratitude to the PPP/C Government for donating a new 15 hp Tohatsu outboard engine to their community.

Region 2 Chairman Mr Parmanand Persaud, who presented the engine to Toshao Mr Kenrick Lewis and Village Councillors, said the engine would help the Council in its outreach activities to residents living along the banks of the river.

Mr Persaud said the engine would also be used to help transport sick persons in emergency cases to the Charity Hospital.

Toshao Lewis said he is very thankful to the Government for the engine, the donation of which shows its committment to the people, and its interest in the development of their community.
He said the request for the engine was made at the National Toshao Conference, and the PPP/C Government has already fulfilled the request. (Rajendra Prabhulall)
