Treating the elderly at Linden

THE Alliance For Change Region 10 Regional Management Committee (RMC) on Wednesday morning treated pensioners to breakfast at the Mackenzie Post Office. As has been their wont over the years, the mining town’s pensioners had assembled at the post office from early in the morning to collect old age pension, which is distributed on the first day of every month.
The ‘AFC Cares’ Linden initiative was led by Region 10 RMC Chairman, Ms Tracy Johnson and the RMC executives, and also included Member of Parliament, Mr. Audwin Rutherford, and the Prime Minister’s Region 10 Representative, Mr. Vladimir Glasgow.
The community initiative is part of the AFC Cares and AFC Outreach programmes which are being executed nationwide by AFC’s RMCs, Women For Change (WFC), Youth For Change (YFC), and party activists.

The WFC held several children’s parties last Christmas, while the Region Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara) RMC held Mother’s Day, Christmas, and other Thanksgiving events last year.
The grouping also held feeding programmes, and handed out food hampers to persons in need in January of this year.
An AFC team, led by Member of Parliament, Mr. Michael Carrington, and comprising Messrs Raymond Hall and Dennis Atwell also visited the Moruca sub-region in Region One (Barima-Waini) and distributed food hampers and gifts to children in Santa Rosa during the Christmas season.
The foregoing initiatives form part of the AFC’s ongoing work in the communities to offer assistance and support to our more vulnerable brothers and sisters.
