The children of Fyrish Courtland, Corentyne Berbice were special guests of Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo and his wife Sita Nagamooto at their annual children’s Christmas party.
A total of 115 Children received goodies and gifts from Santa who also made an appearance at the function, today at Sita Nagamootoo’s childhood home in Courtland.
Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo shared that the idea to host the annual children’s Christmas party stemmed from his not fully experiencing the season as a child. As such, he resolved to put a smile on the faces of children across the country, especially his home county, Berbice.
He disclosed that his wife also shares his desire to bring joy every year to children in her hometown and that she does so in memory of her late father.
