OVER 1,500 children from Grove, Kaneville and Samantha Point on the East Bank of Demerara were treated last Sunday to a Christmas party which was sponsored by Force Commander of ‘A’ Division, Senior Superintendent, Clifton Hicken at the Grove Community Centre ground.

At the party the children were treated to lunch, drinks and snacks as well as gifts from Santa Clause. In addition, there were other delights such as SpongeBob, Mickey Mouse, Spiderman and Ben-10 at the party as well as fun on the

trampoline.
At the Christmas party there were Deputy Commissioner, Balram Persaud, other divisional commanders, Commander Hicken’s wife, Ms. Indira Hicken and parents and guardians of the children.
Speaking at the Christmas party, Hicken said that he loves to help children as they are the future leaders of tomorrow and helping them in anyway will always be his goal.
The commander said that there is much more to be done for the community of Grove and by extension the entire division that he controls.
His wife Ms. Indira Hicken who has been supporting the children said that she was happy that it was a wonderful party and she enjoyed her time with the children who were at ages 4-16.
Since taking over the Division, Hicken has implemented various programmes, one of which was dubbed the best, ‘Project Impact’ in Albouystown.
