Donations to get a childrens breakfast going before school

The first two are about a program to help them start a school children's breakfast.
They are quite poor, as the Rice business is slowing here and Cane cutters are out of work this is a real need. We bought some pots, pans, cups, plates, and silverware and some staple food items, to help this neighborhood group... They are so interested in helping their children... 3/4's of the people in Guyana are under 25.

This is a childrens parade with many many schools participating.. and this is a picture of a banner explaining the ethnics of this country... Amerindians, Africans, Indians, Europeans, Chinese, and Portuguese, all trying to work together to make Guyana great. Most all of the people here, were brought here years ago from India and from Africa. The percentage of others is quite small. We have been fasinated by the culture, politics, religion, and everyday life.
