The children were treated to a spectacular display of performing arts, acrobatics, and comedy from one of the main attractions – the clowns. It was evident that the activity was one which was thoroughly enjoyed by the children whose faces beamed with joy throughout the show.

The children also enjoyed Mexican snow cone and popcorn which were provided to them during the show.

“Providing vulnerable children with opportunities like these is very important for their holistic development. It improves their emotional well-being and their social skills, which impact their ability to lead independent, successful lives,” the First Lady said.

More than that, she said that the President’s One Guyana platform speaks directly to the inclusion of every Guyanese and every group at every level of society.

“Our children, regardless of their circumstance or situation, must be included in activities which ordinary Guyanese are able to enjoy. They must be able to share similar experiences and be able to feel included in our society,” Mrs Ali stressed.

For his part, Ambassador Vizcaíno who facilitated the activity, said that he was delighted to part of an initiative which helps to put a smile on the faces of children and adds value to their lives.

“For Mexico it is a great honour to share the talent and work of the artists of the Suarez Brothers’ Circus with all our Guyanese friends, but specially with this group of wonderful girls and boys who had the opportunity to come from different parts of Guyana to enjoy the show,” the Ambassador shared.
