Digicel Guyana donates to NGOs as part of 16th anniversary celebrations

Digicel Guyana continues to celebrate its 16th anniversary by giving back to the community and most importantly its loyal customers.
The celebration kicked off by making 16 customers millionaires. Thus far, 14 customers have won themselves one million dollars each, with two more millionaires to be crowned.

As the celebrations continue, Digicel donated to three Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO) – Gifted Hands Special Needs School, The Least of These Foundation, and the Open Door Community Alliance of Tiger Bay.
Gifted Hands Special Needs School received laptops for its teachers, tablets for the students, a Samsung Smart TV, and stationery. In addition, The Least of These Foundation reached out to Digicel for assistance to purchase furniture to facilitate English classes being taught to children of Venezuelan immigrants and to aid in integrating them into the public school system.
As such, a quantity of furniture, whiteboard, backpacks, and stationery were handed over to the foundation.
Further, the telecommunications giant donated laptops to the Open Door Community Alliance of Tiger Bay to assist children to access digital resources for their after-school and in-class lessons.

Chief Commercial Officer Simone Pierre emphasised that “Digicel will continue collaborating with NGOs or individuals who are passionate about community development. Numerous success stories have been shared with us and we do anticipate many more in the near future.”
The staff members of Gifted Hands Special Needs School expressed their gratitude for the donation and thanked Digicel for remembering them, not only on their birthday, but throughout the year. “We have had a long-standing relationship with Digicel, and we appreciate their continued support,” said Marcia Smith, founder of Gifted Hands school.

On the other hand, The Least of These Foundation Project Coordinator, Sharon James stated, “This is more than what we bargained for, we are so blessed and thankful for this donation as it will go a very long way in helping us with our work. Such a heartfelt thank you, Digicel,” remarked Sharon James,
Finally, the members of The Open Door Community Alliance of Tiger Bay related that the initiative has helped bridge the digital divide and provided essential learning resources to children in the community.
