Sol Guyana on Friday gave back to the community of Agricola, East Bank Demerara, by providing toys to the children of the community, where its head office is located.
Santa Claus with the kids at the Sol Toy Drive
At the small charitable event held at the Agricola Community Centre, children, along with their parents, gathered to receive toys and snacks and a picture with Santa Claus and her elf on Friday morning, compliments of the Sol Group.
Organised by Commercial Manager, Ayanna Watson, the toy drive sought to provide gifts and snacks to some 150 children in the community.
At the event was Santa Claus and elves, who were handing out the toys to the little boys and girls of the community. The kids took turns to sit on Santa’s lap, while Santa asked them a few questions. They then took pictures with Santa, with their gifts in their hands.
Parents who went to the event told this publication that they are very grateful for Sol Group and that they hope that other organisations follow in their footsteps and do the same for the community.
Parents noted that Sol’s initiative comes just in time as it’s the Christmas season and some parents cannot afford toys for their children during the season. They related that the initiative will surely put a smile on the children’s and their parents’ faces.
Meanwhile, Watson noted that though the event is one of its first, the Sol Group has done more in other communities. (G2)
