Night Shelter gets “I Care Kits” from Rotaract Club of Georgetown
The Rotaract Club of Georgetown (RCG) under its Community Service Arm handed over 200 personal care packages in addition to clothes, biscuits and juices to the administration and residents of the Night Shelter as part of its “I Care Kit” project.

“I Care Kit” is the Club’s culmination of its recently executed “Christmas Cheer” project which catered to 124 children from seven orphanages in and around Georgetown, Linden and East Coast Demerara (ECD), along with children from its Sophia Literacy Programme (SLP).
This project in particular sought to share the spirit of peace, joy, goodwill and giving of the Christmas season to the residents of the Night Shelter; and older group who often find themselves in less fortunate positions around this time of year.
The project was sponsored by Food for the Poor, Massy Distribution, the Interact Club of School of the Nations, Broadway Fashion, Antartic Maintenance & Repairs, and Rotaractors and Guests of the RCG.
The shelter’s administrator Sheila Veerasammy proffered thanks for the donation.
