First Lady Mrs. Arya Ali extended her National Beautification Project to the Pomeroon-Supenaam region today, marking the commencement of a new recreational park in Anna Regina. The park, located near the State House with access from the Anna Regina Public Road, is a collaborative effort between the Office of the First Lady, Sheriff Guyana, and the Ministry of Public Works. The development is projected to be completed within four months.
At the project site, a signboard displaying an artist’s impression of the park was unveiled by Mrs. Ali, alongside Mr. Ameir Ahmad, Managing Director of Sheriff Group of Companies, Regional Chairperson Vilma Da Silva, and Mayor of Anna Regina, Devin Mohan. The event was attended by regional officials and residents of Region Two.
The park will include play amenities for children, a modern gazebo, an outdoor gym, a fountain, washroom facilities, a paved walkway, benches, decorative lights, and garbage receptacles. Security cameras and free wifi will also be installed.
Addressing the residents, the First Lady highlighted the government’s commitment to enhancing the quality of life for Guyanese citizens. She emphasised the importance of community involvement in maintaining the park, which is expected to bolster local economies and improve social relations through increased social activities.
Mr. Ahmad expressed satisfaction in contributing to the project as part of Sheriff Guyana’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts. He praised the First Lady for her initiatives that bring tangible benefits to communities nationwide.
Both the Regional Chairperson and the Mayor conveyed their gratitude on behalf of Region Two residents. Several residents personally thanked the First Lady for the project, noting its anticipated positive impact on the community.
The National Beautification Project aims to preserve the scenic qualities of public spaces in Guyana, promote environmental sustainability, and foster social cohesion through community-related activities.
