FORMER President, Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo visited the Golden Fleece beach Easter Monday and interacted with hundreds of persons flying their kites and picnicking there.

Residents and children were excited on seeing the former president on the beach, that many took the opportunity to take photographs with him.
Enjoying the afternoon stroll with him was Minister of Housing and Water, Mr. Irfaan Ali, and together they greeted and shook hands with residents and kite flyers, taking the opportunity at the same time to talk about the importance of the upcoming General and Regional Elections on May 11.
The beach was decorated with dozens of tent-like booths, from which vendors did quick business, selling soft drinks, beers and food. There was also much laughter and music.
Scores of members of the Progressive Youth Organisation (PYO) also distributed hundreds of kites along the beach to children.
