THE Enterprise Youth Development Group (EYDG) on Saturday last visited the Joshua House Children’s Home in Enmore to intermingle and spread love to the 35 children housed there.Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle, President of the EYDG, Samantha Sheoprashad stated that the visit came as a part of numerous activities which were slated to mark the commencement of the New Year and Youman Nabi observances for the group.

“We believe that if protected the environment we live in shall favour us always to return good deeds into our Community,” she said.
Sheoprashad noted that the group wanted to start their year on a successful and purposeful note, beginning with children.
She added that during the course of the visit, EYDG members spent time chatting and playing games with the children, after which they were treated to lunch with a prayer, and later given footwear and books, all donated by EYDG.
Also throughout the visit “we played with the younger kids and chatted with the older boys before having lunch. After lunch we met with the secondary school boys to talk about their future plans, and of course like all young people they had big dreams aspiring to be doctors, lawyers, journalists and soldiers.”
“During interaction with the children we observed that they are energetic, curious, full of fun, polite, disciplined and engaged well with persons,” noted Sheoprashad.
Some of the children who were treated to the day of fun-filled activities are students of primary and secondary schools, that are all located on the East Coast of Demerara.
EYDG president Sheoprashad concluded that: “This is an afternoon well spent.  The warm feeling we got around those kids just reminded me of the reason why we love volunteering, (and) all my members echoed similar sentiments.”
“Volunteering always gives an unusually purposeful feeling! The experience we had with these children although just a couple hours, was priceless.”
She also recounted that the old year “2014” was very successful and was history in the making for everyone in Enterprise.
