FFTP donates footwear to schools
In an effort to ensure that school children are properly attired for the August School term, Food for the Poor Guyana Inc yesterday donated 3000 pairs of shoes to seven schools.
Some of the students who benefited were from Sophia Primary, Enterprise Primary, East La Penitence Primary, Tapakuma Primary (Region Two), Beterverwagting Primary and Enmore Newtown Nursery.

The donation was made after continuous complaints that a number of school children are not properly attired when attending school, specifically as it relates to wearing the recommended black school shoes.
The donations were graciously accepted by the schools. The head teachers expressed their appreciation. Head Mistress of the Tucville Primary School, Ms. Audrey Sue, thanked the organisation for recognising a dire need of the students and opined that the donation would contribute significantly to an increase in school attendance.
The NGO has identified, and is working with several other schools in Region Five and Six to make similar donations.
