Georgetown : President Bharrat Jagdeo saluted the invaluable contributions made by ancestors of the different ethnic groups in Guyana and the enormous impact they had on the country’s culture.
The Head of State was at the time speaking at a cultural event organized by the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence, in the lead up to Arrival Day on May 5.
The occasion which commemorates the contribution of East Indians who came as immigrants to the shores of Guyana took the form of songs and dances by artistes from Guyana and neighbouring Trinidad and Tobago.
“As we celebrate this wonderful culture of our ancestors gifted to us, we need to remain broadminded to recognize that we are just part of this big culture and this big society that we call Guyana,” President Jagdeo said.
