MEMBERS of the Bible Fellowship Church in Kitty, Georgetown have donated a quantity of toys, toothpaste, laundry detergent and other items to the very receptive occupants of the St. John’s Bosco Orphanage in Plaisance, East Coast Demerara.The donation, made on Saturday last, was aimed at enhancing the operation and functioning of the orphanage; and the gesture, initiated by the church’s District Mission President, Ms Anita Singh, was well received by folks at the orphanage.

Speaking on behalf of the church, Ms. Singh said the initiative was made possible with contributions from the Rose of Sharon Children’s Ministry of Pennsylvania, USA; the Bible Liberty Church of the USA; a few local religious outreach entities; and several individuals here in Guyana.

She added that, as District Mission President of the Bible Fellowship Church, her duties entail assisting the less fortunate in society; raising funds for church building projects; helping people in the hinterland regions; and putting a smile on many faces in need.

Ms Singh added that her church has also donated towards the tragedy in Haiti, among many other projects.

In 2001, Ms. Singh launched a feeding programme that entailed cooking and serving the Kitty, Georgetown community and whoever else was apparently in need of a meal. Occasionally, she bestows the same gesture on folks at the Uncle Eddie’s Home, and also donates to the Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre.

Ms Singh said her efforts to reach out to the needy could not have been possible without the help of kind and considerate individuals and entities, both locally and in the wide diaspora.
