IN observance of the Easter festive season, the Officer in Charge of the Parika Police Station, Assistant Superintendent Alwyn Hoyte, Woman Sergeant 17693 Allison Daniel and Corporal 18477 Marvin Forde of the Traffic Department visited several nursery schools and distributed kites during this week.

The nursery schools which benefitted from the distribution of the kites were Philadelphia, Hydronie, Parika, Farm, St. Lawrence, Blake, Parika Back and Ruby, all located on the East Bank of Essequibo.

A total of 398 kites were presented to the children thus far and the aim is to ensure that every child in the district’s nursery schools receives a kite. The youths were also encouraged to fly their kites in safe and open spaces, away from electrical wires and trenches as well as to seek permission from their parents or guardians before leaving their homes to go kite-flying.
