Children from the Aspirare Learning Community visited the Office of the President today for a tour of The President’s House and grounds. The children had the opportunity to feed the fish in one of the ponds on the compound, ride in the Presidential car and interact with members of the Defence Force, including a soldier wearing a ghillie suit, which is a type of camouflage clothing designed to help the wearer blend in with natural environments. To close off their tour, the children, accompanied by their teachers and parents, serenaded tour personnel with two songs. We hope that they all had an enjoyable and memorable experience.

The Office of the President was delighted to welcome students of the Malick Secondary School for a tour of The President’s House and grounds this morning. After viewing a short video on the role and function of the President, they explored the grounds, identified hidden soldiers and learned about a bivouac, which is a temporary shelter used by Defence Force personnel during training or operations. The tour continued inside the Great House where the young people re-enacted the Presentation of Credentials ceremony, signed the visitor’s book, and were even serenaded by a talented fellow student playing the steelpan. We hope the students had a wonderful time!
