COMFORT Sleep, a good corporate citizen and Guyana’s leading manufacturer of foam and spring filled mattresses, has done it again!
On Tuesday, in yet another demonstration of selfless love and brotherly compassion, the company moved to make the lives and environment of the underprivileged children at a Day Care Centre in Sophia, Greater Georgetown, comfortable by donating to them two large mattresses.
The mattresses were handed over to Headmistress of the Bright Future Day Care Centre and Play School at 9673 B11 Plantation Sophia, Ms. Sohodra Seegobin-Stephenson, by representatives of Comfort Sleep, Ms. Amanda Munroe and Linden Welcome.
Beaming as she accepted the ‘package of love’. Ms. Seegobin could scarcely contain her emotions, and expressed her profound appreciation on behalf of the school. The headmistress said that Tuesday’s presentation marked the second such donation of mattresses coming from Comfort Sleep. She recalled the first two mattresses were donated last year.
The gifts will complement the limited supplies available for the approximately 75 children at the facility, including babies, tweenies (from 15 months) and pre-schoolers.
The school, while making the residents of Sophia its first priority, also accepts children from surrounding areas, such as ‘A’ Field, Sophia and Cummings Park ‘E’ Field, Sophia and further afield. The facility is serviced by a headmistress and six teachers, who respond to their welfare, spiritual and early education and socialization needs as though the children were their very own, and under the caring and compassionate watch of Comfort Sleep.
Managing Director of Comfort Sleep, Mr. Dennis Charran, who has a great love for little children, told the Guyana Chronicle that he has plans to visit the school in Sophia sometime soon, to see in what other areas he could offer help.
Over the last ten years, he has been doing great humanitarian work across the country, and now feeds more than 500 children three days per week through schools feeding programmes in various regions.
