ACDA thanks all those who made the Emancipation Day Festival a success
The African Cultural & Development Association (ACDA), despite torrential rain, held one of its best ever Emancipation Day Festivals at the National Park. Attended by an extremely large and late-arriving crowd, this year’s extravaganza exceeded all expectations, due much in part to the hundreds of individuals who were involved in putting this logistically complicated event on this year.
ACDA thanks the Creator for this achievement. We also thank all the different races and cultures that made this event what is was. Truly our 3.2 million year old ancestor, Lucy, who was found in Africa, would have smiled to see all of her descendants showing respect to each other. Indeed Guyana won yesterday against the odds as all races enjoyed themselves in many different ways and forms.
This year, apart from being the 173rd anniversary of Emancipation, was also the UN International Year for People of African Descent. We at ACDA are thankful that our festival, was made a success by Guyanese from all parts of our beautiful nation, and the performers from Canada, Suriname, Mexico, Trinidad & Tobago, the United States and Africa.
Our thanks begin with acknowledging the presence of Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, his lovely wife and cute grandchild, who was having a ball. Prime Minister Hinds religiously attends every Emancipation Day Festival and his arrival brings our formal programme to a start. We at ACDA wish him and his family, as well as all Guyanese, well.
This year we are also thankful for the ambassadors who attended and especially for the Mexican Ambassador whose visiting group of Mexican folk dancers graced us with their presence. They were magnificent.
Thanks also to the Mayor who attended with his family, Dr Yesu Persaud and the members of the private sector who braved the rain to be there.
Special thanks to all the performers who did a splendid job to make this year’s cultural segment hard to beat in the future. To our international guests: Beyond Sound (Afiwi International of Canada), of Suriname, the Nazarene Steel Orchestra of Trinidad & Tobago, the Mexican Dance Troupe, and Livia Prescott of the USA (Guyanese born); you were magnificent.
To our local performers: as usual you gave us your all and we appreciate the expense some of you went to through to impress the crowd. Thank you and may this experience and the exposure to our foreign friends, strengthen our local technical approach to our individual crafts.

Local Hospital Receives $17 Million Gift | Praise Cleveland ...
UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital has received the largest individual donation in its history, $17 million dollars to further its work in childhood, adolescent and young adult cancers.
The donation came from Char and Chuck Fowler, whose daughter Angie died of melanoma at age 14.
“Angie was very willing to try everything and did it with a smile as much as she could,” Chuck Fowler said. Unfortunately, she lost her battle about seven months after she was diagnosed.
The hospital will use the donation to establish the Angie Fowler Child & Young Adult Cancer Institute, which will include a new dedicated outpatient treatment facility and an expanded inpatient unit for pediatric and young adult patients, along with a rooftop garden.
Dr. Kenneth Cooke, director of the hospital’s pediatric blood and marrow transplant program, said the gift puts Rainbow in the “forefront of cutting edge therapy for that population of patients.”
