We hope these images will assist in the process of normalizing inclusion in our children and will encourage an appreciation for and an understanding of the beautiful differences of the various cultures of Guyana.
Each box of GCA Cultural Puzzles will include a fly-sheet with an explanation of the Festival chosen.
Learn and play.
