GUYANA’S First Son, Zayd Ali, hosted a lemonade sale at State House, Main Street, on Friday in an effort to raise funds for the Guyana Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA)’s animal clinic and shelter.

As persons flocked the lemonade stand to support the cause, First Lady Arya Ali greeted them with a smile and provided information about the variety of lemonade flavours and snacks that were available. Zayd, on the other hand, interacted with children of all ages and their parents.

During her brief remarks, the First Lady highlighted several reasons why the fundraiser meant a lot to Zayd and the rest of the First Family.

“It’s just him giving back to our little friends on four feet,” she said, before highlighting how fond Zayd was of animals.

Labelling him as an “animal ambassador,” she affirmed that more events of a similar nature will be held.

She hinted that the proceeds from an upcoming event will be going towards the spay and neuter campaign.

Meanwhile, President of the GSPCA, Oliver Insanally, extended his gratitude to the First Family for the donation.

Insanally stated that GSPCA welcomes donations as they help to sustain its operations and cater to the animals’ needs.

The First Son managed to raise a whopping $1,850,000 towards the cause.

The animal clinic and shelter offers vaccination, deworming, spay and neutering along with other veterinary services, at a reasonable price.
