The Alliance For Change Region 6 team on August 27, 2011 hosted a fund raising dinner at the residence of NEC member Dr. Verasammy Ramaya. This dinner which was attended by approximately 400 persons of all backgrounds and ethnicities served as an assembly point for the AFC’s leadership, membership and support from all parts of Berbice and further afield. Dr. Ramaya said that this was indeed the objective of the dinner.

Inspirational charges were delivered by Dr. Ramaya, NEC member Gerhard Ramsaroop and Presidential Candidate Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan. Mr. Ramsaroop spoke on the need for economic transformation in Region 6 and on the broader national level. He said that such is needed for the generation of better paying jobs and the collection of increased revenues. Mr. Ramsaroop also showered praises and congratulations to Ms. Appadu for her sterling performance.
Presidential Candidate Khemraj Ramjattan in his feature address spoke at length on the need for urgent racial healing and reconciliation. He said that Guyana as a nation can only progress if all the peoples are prepared to work together with a common purpose. This message of unity was very well received by the large and diverse audience.
The message of healing and reconciliation has indeed threaded through all of Mr. Ramjattan’s utterances ever since his rousing speech at the Bath Bible Church in January of this year.
