Morgan, being the only female athlete to win the Athletic Association of Guyana (AAG) Junior and Senior award (2009) disclosed that she normally contributes to the Convalescent home every Christmas, “I have been making donations the Convalescent home for children over the past years every Christmas and I will also like others to come forward and join me in assisting the children.”
It was noted that in the event of any incident in the Park, the guards don’t have enough transportation to cover the area adequately, hence the idea of assisting.
