In response to the threats posed by Venezuela and in alignment with Guyana’s commitment to pursuing a peaceful resolution of the border controversy, schools and organizations across the country engaged in an interfaith prayer for peace.
Amidst the ongoing tensions, Guyana has been organizing various national events to underscore patriotism and emphasize the legality of its ownership of the Essequibo region.
Earlier today, several schools along Woolford Avenue gathered at the Central Islamic Organization for an interfaith prayer service.
Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, addressed the students, emphasizing their vital role in rejecting Venezuela’s aggression.
CIOG’s Director of Education, Shaykh Moeenul Hack, highlighted the significance of events like these, emphasizing the power of unity in the end.
These interfaith prayers serve as a powerful symbol of solidarity and resilience in the face of external threats.
As part of the continued national response, additional events, including a Night of Patriotic Reflection, are set to take place over the weekend.
These gatherings aim to foster a sense of unity, patriotism, and determination among the Guyanese people.
