Sixty-three students between the ages of four and 14 were recently presented with school items from the All God’s Little Children Inc, Buxton/ Friendship, East Coast Demerara, a non-governmental organization. Some of the items include haversacks, stationery, books and calculators.
According to Bro. Weygand Gardner, Executive Director, the organization strongly believes in the potential of these youths despite the many challenges they encounter.

He noted that the organization is reaching out to these youths with the vision of propelling changes in their lives.
Gardner emphasized that the body started hosting weekly Saturday School sessions in August 2010. These sessions aim at enhancing the literacy levels of the community’s children by imparting Christian principles; while simultaneously creating alternative constructive activities for them.
Through the help of volunteers the organization is able to better encourage literacy and education in the community.
In giving back to the volunteers who dedicate their time and energies for the empowerment of the community’s children, the organization since its establishment has been awarding scholarships.
This year was no different as Danita Cato was awarded a one-year scholarship to pursue a Degree in Business Management at the University of Guyana. The scholarship was donated by Claude Henry Foundation and sourced by All God’s Little Children Inc, Buxton/ Friendship. Cato is the third volunteer of the group to receive a scholarship.
