IN keeping with the spirit of Christmas, the Universal Peace Federation (UPF) Guyana Chapter recently gave generously to hundreds of children in Linden in their zeal to spread cheer and joy in the town.The group, comprising General Secretary, Rev. Ronald Mc Garrell; National Chairman, Hajji Roshan Khan; and Ms. Annie Nauth and Mr. Michael Boucher two Fridays ago travelled to the mining town with a vehicle laden with toys and other goodies, much to the delight and fascination of the children they met there.
Over 200 children of the Pine Street and Amelia’s Ward Nursery Schools, along with others from the surrounding areas were presented with toys and snacks, for which they were all very grateful.
At the schools, the visiting team entertained the children in song, and, being the gracious hosts they are, even at that age, the children couldn’t help but reciprocate, igniting a feeling of joy and cheerfulness all around.

Whilst in Linden, the visiting group dropped in at the community’s radio station, where they met with Linden Mayor, Mr. Carwyn Holland to discuss fostering closer ties between the Federation and the township among other matters.
UPF Guyana will partner with Mayor Holland in appointing Peace Ambassadors in the Linden area from among persons of all political, religious and ethnic persuasions.
The Universal Peace Federation is a globally connected group of dynamic individuals from all ethnicities, religious and political groups who are working together to achieve world peace.
Over the course of the Christmas holiday, the organisation will be visiting several disadvantaged areas around Georgetown, and on the East Coast, West Coast and West Bank where children would be able to benefit from toys and gifts.
The Universal Peace Federation Guyana Chapter would like to take this opportunity to extend Holiday Greetings to all Guyanese this Christmas.
