VIKAB (Guyana) Limited hosted its second Annual Christmas Charity Toy and Hamper Drive at the Corentyne Comprehensive High School (CCHS) in Port Mourant, Berbice.

The founder of the firm, VIKAB, Hardutt Punwasee, who was also a student and teacher of the CCHS, before migrating, said that his return to the Caribbean offered him the opportunity to establish the company, VIKAB.
Being a product of the sugar estate, he noted that he has always felt a passion to give back to the community which he holds very close to his heart.
The event attracted hundreds of children and elderly individuals, who were treated to gifts from Santa Claus, entertainment, food, and refreshments. The elderly attendees were also given food hampers.

After the ceremony, the toy and food hamper drive continued, with the VIKAB team reaching other villages such as Bangladesh and Tain, as well as the children’s home. To close the event, and as a token of appreciation for their support, Vinesh, Reshma, and Karuna Punwasee presented the principal and staff of the school with two kits—a collection of cricket gear—to support the advancement of the sport.
