“There’s nothing better than giving back to the less fortunate,” says overseas-based Guyanese Carol Bagot.
Bagot, who heads the Organization for Social and Health Advancement in Guyana, (OSHAG), entertained some two dozen children from the Red Cross Children’s Convalescent Home. The children spent the entire afternoon at her Enterprise, East Coast Demerara home.
According to Bagot, the toys the children received were donated by Sybil Chester from New York. Food and drinks were donated by the organization’s New York Chapter. The woman also donated a number of eating trays to the Convalescent Home. This, she said, was made possible through Dr. Lewis from the Kings County Hospital.

Bagot said that the organization has been in operation for the past 10 years and recently got its NGO status. She said that over the years, she along with members would donate a number of items to various orphanages and elderly homes across the country.
