The Golden Om Dharmic Youth Group (GODYG), the Youth arm of the East Berbice Praant of the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha (GHDS) has launched its ‘I Love Life’ anti- suicide campaign. The local World Wide Web initiative sprung from the upsurge of suicides that have been rocking Guyana, which has one of the highest suicide rates in the world.According to President of the GODYG, Pandit Deodat Persaud, the group has chosen to use Facebook to allow persons to make videos of themselves using anti- suicide slogans, similar to that of the recent IceBucket Challenge in the USA.“We have officially launched our Suicide Stopper Campaign; aimed at reducing the alarming increase of suicide cases across Guyana.”Golden Om’s Radha Persaud poses for the ‘I Love Life Challenge’Launched on the popular social network, Facebook, the group has invited members to create and display posters with the expression, “#ilovelife”.
