Thanks to the collaboration of the
Lady Ira Life Skill Foundation (LILSF)
and the Positive Foundation Agricola,
a fulfilled Christmas party was held in
Agricola village, Guyana, on December
19, after the Coronavirus pandemic that
sadly closed all events last year.
The afternoon of festive fun put
smiles on the faces of scores of children,
who enjoyed games, music, food,
and gifts from Santa. The magic of the
festive season, resonated with the little
ones, recommended by charity partners,
and St. Ann’s Primary School,
where the event was held.
Founder of (LILSF), Lady Ira Lewis, of
East Orange, NJ, launched the empowerment
center earlier this year, with an
aim to help the helpless, in the village
of 2000 residents. The humanitarian
said she is passionate about bringing all
available resources to the community.
She is hopeful that the government
of Guyana will partner with her foundation
to help facilitate programs that
would educate the youth, and develop
the community in the process.
In addition to a spelling bee and a
greeting card workshop, the youths are
encouraged to bring their parents to
the center, said Lewis, who was happy
to partner with other organizations.
Chairwoman of the Positive Foundation
Agricola, Stacey Cuffy, engages
some 80 youths in sports and recreation,
education and training, as well as
organic farming.
