The children of Buxton, East Coast Demerara and surrounding villages were treated to a Christmas party hosted by 90-year-old Elaine McNeal of Friendship Village, East Coast Demerara.

The event saw hundreds of children receiving gifts and being treated to meals and Ferris wheel rides. Elaine Mc Neal returned to Guyana 28 years ago from the United States and started the event to assist and help children to feel the Christmas spirit.
Mrs. McNeal, mother of Presidential Advisor Odinga Lumumba, said the rain might have stalled or kept away some children.
“I am happy every year. I always do this as long as I am here. I thank God at 90 that I am still able to do it and it feels great. I am happy since children look forward to this every year. Thank God that I am healthy, although I may have aches in my knees and I limp a little.”
She explained “I want this to be carried on even after I am gone.”
Mrs. McNeal catered for 400 children – toys and other goodies were shared.
