…Noise galore to herald in New Year
Guyana will be “Roaring in the Golden Jubilee”, 2016 the year of our 50th Independence Anniversary, with much jubilation and fanfare as the Government of Guyana, on Old Year’s Night, will officially launch the celebrations for Guyana’s Golden Jubilee. The launch will be done at the Independence Arch on Brickdam.
The official programme will commence with prayers for the nation, followed by the New Year’s Address to the Nation by President David Granger. After the President’s address the sirens at all Police and Military installations across the length and breadth of the country will be blared. This will then be joined by the sounding of the horns on the ships docked in the harbours at Berbice, Essequibo and Georgetown.
The countdown to midnight will be ushered by the pealing of bells, and on the stroke of midnight there will be a fireworks display. Thereafter, the gathering will be treated to cultural presentations that will highlight Guyana’s rich and diverse cultural heritage. Similar activities will also be held in the 10 Administrative Regions.
Guyana’s Golden Jubilee highlights the following three perspectives:-
1. Reflection – On the past 50 years in context of learning pertinent lessons for the future and celebrating the history, the heritage, the pioneers and the achievements of the past.
2. Celebration – Rejoicing in the unity of Guyanese culture including the indigenous community and shared experiences and values. Proclaiming Guyana’s desire and commitment to move forward to a brighter future.
3. Inspiration – Inspiring the youth of Guyana to have the confidence and the support to dream bigger and reach higher in the next 50 years.
These perspectives are the pinnacle for the celebrations that will last the entire year.
THIS IDIOT TELLING GUYANA WE HAVE NO SAY IN THE 50% PROFIT SHARING AGREEMENT WE HAVE WITH EXXON.
