Guyana Foundation donates school supplies to the children of Mocha

On Wednesday morning, 18th January, the Founder of the Guyana Foundation, Mrs. Supriya SinghBodden, CCH, visited the Mocha residents whose homes were demolished to distribute a number of school supplies to the children affected. She was accompanied by the Leader of the Opposition and the Leader of the PNCR Mr. Aubrey C. Norton, MP, Member of Parliament Ms. Nima FlueBess and CEC Member, Mr. Mervyn Williams. Household items and clothing were also distributed by the Party.

Sharing her sentiments on the matter, Mrs. Singh-Bodden, "If this is going to be the blueprint, we follow to develop Guyana this does not augur well for our people. The situation should never have been allowed to escalate and develop to this extent where even children are traumatized that something terrible will happen again.

Let us remember that the black gold we have discovered offshore belongs to all of the people of Guyana. It is understood that we must use this wealth to develop our infrastructure at a rapid pace, we must develop all sectors of the country as fast as we can, the time clock is ticking on fossil fuels. But let us not get beside ourselves to treat our citizens with this level of indignity in the process of change, ever again”

Donation of household/hygiene items by the PNCR Brooklyn Chapter to Mocha residents

In response to the inhumane actions taken by the PPP/C Government of Guyana, towards the residents of Mocha Arcadia, the First Vice Chairperson of the PNCR and Chairperson of the Party’s Welfare Committee, Mrs. Elizabeth WilliamsNiles secured a quantity of items donated by the PNCR Brooklyn Chapter towards this crisis. The visit was executed on January 8th, 2022. To assist in the presentations were volunteers and Member of Parliament, Ms. Nima Flue-Bess. An assessment was done on the ground which revealed several young mothers remain displaced with young babies and children not forgetting the men, the elderly and livestock rescued. The traumatized citizens were in tears, shocked and in disbelief at the treatment meted out to them by the Government. Some residents indicated after decades of being on this ancestral land they are thrown off without any regards for their survival and livestock. Many animals were buried alive by the heavy duty machinery sent in the area to destroy/disrupt their peaceful living, accompanied by strong police presence and hostile engagement with the residents. Business establishments were destroyed as residents remained in the rainy weather, relying on faith and the day-to-day support to get through this.

Immediate needs are personal hygiene items, socks, clothes, safe spaces to stay and medical supplies due to the harsh weather conditions and the COVID-19/Flu season they are overly exposed to. A call on United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) Rights of the Child and other international bodies is made to ensure the affected citizens/families have access to shelter, food, education, and health care.
