Disability Organisations record largest single donation

Feb 15, 2013 News

The Guyana Council of Organisations for Persons with Disabilities yesterday recorded its single largest donation, compliments of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
According to Elder Cook, who is one of the persons spearheading the project, the donation which will aid about 2000 persons was totaled at a cost of US $17,000. The items include blankets, medical and school supplies, clothing, shoes, sheets etc.
The New Amsterdam, Diamond, and David Rose Special Needs Schools are just some of the entities which will benefit.
Kaieteur News understands that every year, couples from the aforementioned church would gather items and load them onto containers to be shipped to the less fortunate all across the world. Although they have to use their own monies to accommodate travels to these places, these couples have agreed that what they do gives them a “worthwhile” feeling.
In speaking with Kaieteur News, Head of the Organisations for Persons with Disabilities, Leon Walcott, explained that the donation is so large that each organization will have to hire canters to transport the stuff to the various entities in Regions Two, Three, Four, Five Six, Seven and 10.
The Church extended gratitude to Mr. Rahaman of Rent-a-Tent who donated a tent and provided storage facility for the items as well as a place for a formal donation to be made.
