Aditya Kids Trust Fund Foundation donation
BATH SETTLEMENT, WEST COAST, BERBICE — The Aditya Kids Trust Fund Foundation last week donated a DVD player, a quantity of toys and reading material to the Waterloo Nursery School of Bath Settlement, West Coast, Berbice.
Teacher Mishuari Sahadeo (centre), Miss Marcene Johasen (left), a parent, Natasha Singh (right), and a student receive the donation from the Vice President of the Aditya Kids Trust Fund Foundation, Mahendra Persaud.
Secretary/Treasurer of the group, Zulfikar Alli, said this gesture was based on a request made by a parent of a child attending the school.
Another donation was made to the Number Two Nursery School, also on the West Coast of Berbice, last week.
Mr. Alli said that the foundation believes that education is the only key to success and, as such, is prepared to continue to invest its resources into the development of children.
Meanwhile, work on the resource centre at Bath Settlement is to commence by December. So far, a number of computers and books have been sent to Guyana from those in Canada for the venture to be realized.
The facility would consist of a library, a gymnasium, a computer room and a play area. This should be completed at an estimated cost of $1.5 million.
The Aditya Kids Trust Foundation was established in December 2007. It came into being after the death of seven-year-old Aditya Ramdhan, of Bath Settlement, in September 2007. The Waterloo Nursery School student was sponsored to undergo cardiac surgery in India, but died after the procedure.
The foundation was conceptualised by Canadian-born Lorraine Kissoon, and was formed by Canadian businessmen.
The non-profit body is registered with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports. The motto is ‘Investing in our future by helping kids’.
The objectives are to provide assistance, mainly to the less fortunate children. This aid can be had in the form of medical attention, social assistance, educational grants, and the development of sports. Though children are their key focus, persons of all ages have benefited as well.
