Former Mayor of Georgetown, Pt. Ubraj Narine, in collaboration with former government minister, Volda Lawrence M.P, distributed hampers to families in Georgetown as part of an initiative to bring holiday cheer and support to those in need. Lawrence was the Minister of Public Health in the A Partnership for National Unity and Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) government.
The event, which saw the distribution of food items to numerous households, was a heartwarming gesture aimed at providing relief during the festive season.
Narine told this publication it was heartening to see the expressions of gratitude on the faces of those who might not have been able to afford a meal this season. “Those of us who could help the less fortunate should,” he said. The former mayor took the opportunity to call on the Government to take better care of the vulnerable in society. According to him, people can tell whether a Government is caring or not by the way it treats those in need.
Narine also took the opportunity to express gratitude to all the sponsors who made the event possible, stating that he is deeply thankful for their generous support and may God continue to bless them all
