As part of his Easter Monday activities, the President started at the Number 63 Beach where he met with families who had gathered at the popular site to be a part of the celebration.
While mingling and catching up on the excitement at the beach, the President also took time out to take photographs with eager families.
President Ramotar also assisted in giving out prizes for the Ministry of Tourism's Kite flying competition.
The Head of State then made his way to the Lusignan Golf Course on the East Coast of Demerara where he met with persons there who were also a part of the kite flying exercise.
After his brief stop at that location the President made his way to the Joe Vieira Park on the West Bank of Demerara where again he met and interacted with patrons at that location.

He added that under his administration, Guyana has achieved a lot and it would be beneficial to all Guyanese for Guyana to keep soaring to higher heights with the aim of providing a better quality of life for citizens.
