Gya: Conflicting messages

To do or not to do; that is the question!

Kicking off the revelry at 10:15 am from Church and Camp streets was a contingent from Lifeline Counselling. Mashing with 100 revellers, Lifeline charged the public to abstain from sexual activities and to condomise.

Right on Lifeline's heels was the Guyana Responsible Parenthood Association (GRPA) which echoed the same message.

A woman in her mid-seventies joined that band in Irving Street and shaking with an umbrella between her legs she challenged the young revellers to top her act.

She created a frenzy when she proudly accepted a string of condoms from the GRPA group who were distributing them along the route.
