Hundreds of Berbicians will benefit from a multi-million dollar community and educational facility which was commissioned on Sunday at Gay Park, New Amsterdam, Berbice. The facility is housed in the compound of Gay Park Shree Krishna Mandir and was built through a collaborative effort by members of the Hindu Society of Berbice.

Present was Minister of Health Dr. Leslie Ramsammy who commended the society for making such an investment which will benefit the people of Berbice especially youths. “Education is an investment worth more than all the money than anyone can put into it. The Hindu Society of Berbice should be commended for taking up the responsibility of building this facility. It is an example for the other organisations to follow and I think we should all thank God for it because I do believe that in years to come you will see the benefits of it in your children,” Minister of Health, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy said.

Sunday Sept. 2nd @ 11 am.
We sincerely wish to thank all of our supporters for making this dream a reality. We have completed 9,600 square feet of our Hindu Center and we offer this to the lotus feet of our Lord Bhagwan Sri Krishna. This center will be used to the max, to promote education, religion and Indian culture. Please join with us for this momentous occasion.
