The event, which also includes the planting of trees and clean-up activities in numerous communities, is a collaboration between the Region Six Regional Democratic Council (RDC), the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), private sector representatives and residents.

The activity is part of the Head of State’s National Clean-up Campaign, which started earlier this month in Georgetown.

Since then, the President’s enthusiasm and drive to provide a clean, healthy and enabling environment that is litter-free has reverberated throughout the country, with other areas joining the activities.
