Christmas is a time for sharing and caring, but more importantly, reaching out to the less fortunate and the elderly.
It is in light of this, VIKAB (Guyana) Ltd, one of the leading civil engineering and project management firms in Guyana recently hosted a Christmas toy, hamper and food drive in the Corentyne, Berbice area.
On Sunday last, hundreds of children from the Port Mourant area were hosted at the Corentyne Comprehensive Secondary School under the patronage of the Punwasee family with the support of their staff and close associates.
Hardutt Punwasee, who is no stranger to Port Mourant, is also the founder of VIKAB, which was registered in Guyana in 1992. He grew up in the historical sugar industry at Bound Yard and Free Yard in Port Mourant.

The objective of the event was to give back to the community which holds very special significance to the Guyanese businessman. He stated that Port Mourant and the surrounding communities remain close to his heart despite migrating several years ago.
Nevertheless, during the event, the children were entertained by a dancing Santa Claus, who presented gifts and goodies to them. They were also treated to a special Christmas meal. In addition, the elderly were presented with food hampers.
Christmas cheer was also taken to the children of the Canaan Children’s Home and the “Bal Nivas” Home as well as the children from the village of Tain.
This event exemplified VIKAB’s way of spreading Christmas cheer to the less fortunate, which undoubtedly brought joy and delight to the children and elderly in time for the festive season.
Meanwhile, VIKAB extends its gratitude to all who supported the event and made it such a joyful success and is looking forward to making it an annual affair.
