WITH a driving passion to alleviate poverty in Guyana, the ‘Dream For Today’ foundation (DFT) again provided lunch for the less fortunate, last Sunday whilst scouring the streets of Georgetown.This non-governmental charitable organisation has been formed with the aim of reducing poverty and making a valuable contribution to communities.

Its feeding activities commenced around the Guyana Stores Ltd and then proceeded to the Parade Ground prior to going to Regent Street and Orange Walk, Robb Street and the Bourda Market, before concluding at North Road.

This marks the fifth feeding activity the group has undertaken since its formation. The organisation held fundraisers to facilitate its intended feeding activity. Members of the NGO offered approximately 80 recipients from all the mentioned areas an ideal one-course meal in an initiative that was part of the group’s set objective — feeding the less fortunate as its prime mission.

Many less fortunate persons who received a box of chowmein expressed their appreciation for the organisation’s generosity. The group has also donated clothes to orphanages and other institutions.

It is now nearing two years in existence, and is contemplating different measures to approach poverty-stricken communities in Guyana.

President of the organisation, Mario Glasgow, told the Guyana Chronicle in an invited comment that it is with much hope that the organisation stages this function, and it plans to take its activities internationally.

Members of this NGO take seriously this admonition from the venerable Mahatma Gandhi: “You must be the change you wish to see in the world”. (Shivanie Sugrim)
