With assistance from the headmistress and faculty, fifty (50) students were identified to benefit from the receipt of hampers that included food supplies, personal care items, and reading material.
The past students had, earlier this month, gathered to assemble and distribute hampers to families located in Central Georgetown and along the East Coast, East Bank, West Coast, and West Bank Demerara corridors.
President of the St Rose’s Alumni Association, Keon Smith, has expressed immense gratitude to the individuals and businesses who made this inaugural activity possible, including past students and friends.
He has acknowledged that without the kind donations of Universal Janitorial Services & Supplies, 401 Furniture Store, and Doerga Business Enterprise, the project would not have been possible.
Further, Smith has expressed hope that more persons would come on board this project in the future to bring relief to even more vulnerable families during this time of protracted lockdown.
Members of the St. Rose’s Alumni Association (Guyana) Inc. include Ronald Kissoon, Ruth Jeffers, Kemie Haniff, Densie Hodge, Raquel Thomas, Chevon Lim, Tracy Smith, Rensford Niles and Simone Gonsalves.
The Association was formed in January 2020.
