New Jersey Arya Samaj Humanitarian Mission President, Pandit Suresh Sugrim, paid a courtesy call on Prime Minister Samuel Hinds yesterday, when he presented the Prime Minister with a special citation in recognition of support received in the past. The Mission will launch its first housing project here Sunday at Rose Hall, on the Corentyne, and this will see Rose Hall resident Iris Latchman acquiring a new home.
The New Jersey Arya Samaj Humanitarian Mission was established in the United States in 1986, and has a local chapter in Williamsburg, Corentyne, Berbice.
The organisation is committed to visiting Guyana once a year to work in various areas in improving the quality of life among the less fortunate.
The organisation aims at supporting underprivileged children, senior citizens, and disabled children, and at being involved in other aspects of charitable work.
This time around, apart from the housing project, there is also the hosting of a grand cultural fund-raising show, ‘Laff till Yuh Belly Bust’, to be held on July 7, 2008, at the Albion Sports Hall.
According to the Mission President, there are plans to continue working in Guyana in the foreseeable future, in collaboration with the local chapter on the Corentyne, the Guyana Central Arya Samaj, and other non-governmental organisations (NGO’s). |
