Georgetown, Guyana – (May 12, 2017) First Lady, Mrs. Sandra Granger, today, encouraged the contestants of the Annual Mother and Daughter Pageant to enjoy themselves even though it is a competition, as the most valuable lessons that they would have learnt would have been from the bonding and nurturing experiences shared during the preparatory process. Dr. Sulan Fung and her mother, Ms. Ingrid Fung, the producer and creator of the pageant, accompanied the delegates to the meeting, which was held at State House.
The First Lady said that a woman, who is aware of her value and demonstrates that in her daily life, will have a great impact on her daughter’s own self-esteem and self-perception.
