2008-5-4: The Alliance For Change extends greetings on the occasion of Indian Arrival Day
We of the AFC extend greetings to all Guyanese as the nation celebrates Arrival day. While the circumstances under which most of our ancestors arrived in the land we now call Guyana were sad and deplorable, it is indeed a sign of their strength and resilience that we are still here to remember their arrival.
The Alliance For Change acknowledges the hard work, the pain and the sacrifice of those who endured long voyages to Guyana’s shores, and is proud to be part of the rich cultural kaleidoscope that Guyana has become as a result of their arrival.
Our hope on this day is that together we can build a nation that will become a prosperous and permanent home, and not one from which we are forced to travel yet again. By celebrating the arrival of all ethnic groups to Guyana, we are in fact celebrating an act which brought us all together.
It is with this togetherness in mind that the AFC wishes all Guyanese a happy arrival day.
