The Easter season got off to a fun start for children of Albouystown, Georgetown, when Guyanese from the diaspora volunteered their skills during a kite-making workshop to keep the cultural tradition alive.

Rotarian Janice Hall, who traveled from New Jersey, made a donation towards the purchase of kite-making material and snacks, while putting a smile on the faces of the children, many who never had the opportunity to participate in the pastime.
