The North Georgetown Secondary School yesterday hosted a cultural extravaganza in recognition of Mashramani, which is being celebrated today.
Created in 2009 with the intention of having students understand and respect Guyana’s cultural diversity, Culture Day has become an annual event.
According to Deborah Greenidge-Hinds, Head Teacher, the school’s cultural event is usually held the day before Mashramani. Just in its fourth year, Culture Day has attracted sponsorship from the private sector and the participation of Non-Governmental Organizations.
She noted that contributions to the event include traditional meals and displays of musical instruments, garments, ornaments and books.
This year’s event was celebrated under the theme “Guyanese Folk Tradition.” Students were decked out in traditional outfits and the school’s atmosphere was filled with African drumming and the aroma of tantalizing dishes.
Greenidge-Hinds said she was delighted to see so many students dressed in traditional attire of other cultural backgrounds. This, she noted, vindicates the reason for the school hosting this grand event.
The students also put on a grand show comprising poetry, dance drama and a display of traditional dresses.
