Food for the Poor, St Francis Community Developers aid five families
Two of Guyana’s leading non-governmental organizations, Food for the Poor Guyana Incorporated and the St Francis Community Developers in Corentyne Berbice, continued their benevolence with the donation of five wheelchairs to five families in need.
The recipients were drawn from across Berbice. Those families receiving the wheelchairs were Dhohney Ceres of Angoy’s Avenue on behalf Angela Ceres; Jerneta Junior of No 11 Farm East Coast Berbice on behalf of Vanessa Ramessar; Permaul Ramsami of Albion on behalf of Donna Ramsammy; Eva Persaud of No 54 Village, Corentyne and Hazel La Rose who collected a wheel chair on behalf of Dallas La Rose of Rose Hall Town.
FFP Berbice coordinator Alex Foster presents a wheelchair to a relative of the beneficiary.
Speaking at the ceremony held recently at the Club’s new multimillion-dollar building at the Area H Rose Hall Town, President of the Community Developers, Alex Foster said that he felt humbled when he saw the handicapped. He said that he was taken aback by their physical conditions.
He told those who witnessed the ceremony that they were fortunate to have all their body parts intact and functioning properly.
Foster stated that it is an honour and a privilege to be of some help to the persons that are being assisted today. He urged them to take care of the chairs.
The recipients were very appreciative and thankful to the FFP and SFCD for the donation.
None of the beneficiaries were present. They were either represented by their parents, a relative or guardian. They said that the donation of the wheelchairs will assist them greatly in helping to take care of their love ones, either in going to school, to seek medical attention or any other chores.
