Post offices to display "race free zone" placards
Placards that pledge a race free zone will be displayed in all 64 regional post offices to promote greater public awareness of racial attitudes and behaviour. The pledges represent efforts by the Rights of Children (ROC) youth organisation to create "zones" where discrimination, verbal and physical abuse and hate speech based on race are forbidden. Already many business and religious organisations have added their signatures to the programme that requires them to display the pledge prominently on their premises. Lynette Amsterdam, Chief Financial Officer of the Guyana Post Office Corporation told Stabroek News that the postal employees already work in harmony as they are part of the "universal postal family" which makes no distinction based on race or religion.
