CITY gift store ‘Hygiene Hut’ yesterday reached out to the Guyana Relief Council (GRC) with its promised first anniversary donation. The store had pledged charitable assistance following the end of its anniversary promotion in May to the non-governmental organisation. The GRC frequently assists victims of fires and natural disasters. Administrative Officer of the Relief Council, Lynette Carter, yesterday expressed gratitude to Managing Director Shiv Nandalall upon receiving a cheque for the monetary donation at the Regent Road store.

“Every little contribution we get helps us to be able to meet the needs of persons who experience disaster and we hope other agencies follow the example of Hygiene Hut in giving back to the community,” Carter said.
Nandalall reminded that it must never be the intention of a business enterprise, however small, to focus only on its own profit-making objectives. “We as a society must remember those around us, especially the ones who become victims of circumstance,” Nandalall observed.
“It is therefore mandatory that our young and budding operation begins to honour its social obligations at an early stage,” he added.
Hygiene Hut in collaboration with cell phone firm TELCO Solutions ran off its first anniversary promotion from April to May. Both DIGICEL and GT&T subscribers making purchases at the Regent Road facility received free top-up with their purchase.
