This initiative was conceptualised by subject Minister Dr Vindhya Persaud and aims at fulfilling the dreams of children with special needs, between the ages of four and fifteen, during the festive season.
These needs include those living with disabilities, children who would have experienced some traumatic or psychological incident in their life, lost their parents and do not have guardians or caregivers, and never had the opportunity to enjoy that one gift that could make them incredibly happy.
E-Networks Marketing Coordinator, Ashley John lauded the Ministry for its worthwhile project during the season of giving.
“We know a child’s circumstances or that of their parent/guardian might hinder them from enjoying Christmas, so we think it’s a brilliant initiative by the Ministry to bring joy during this festive season. As a local company, we are always thrilled to show our support to improve the lives of Guyanese, especially the youth in need,” John stated.
Hoosein-Outar on accepting the donation stated that, “This donation will go a long way in making the Christmas wishes of less fortunate children come true”.
In crafting the initiative, Dr Persaud had especially considered how children generally look forward to Christmas time and how granting their special wishes can profoundly impact them.
