HEART patient, Terriann Wright, a schoolgirl who had successful surgery in the United States following sponsorship by Digicel Guyana, paid a courtesy call on the company’s Head of Marketing, Jacqueline James, to express appreciation of the lifesaving gesture by the giant cell phone company.Terriann, accompanied by her mother Gillian Henry, was eager to meet with James to tell her how well she was doing in school and to request her phone number.

Terriann told the Digicel executive that her favourite subject is spelling. Her mom noted that she is doing quite well at school and loves to run around, but she also knows when to take it easy. Terriann was delighted to also receive a bag of goodies from James.

Digicel provided the airfare for Terriann and her mother to Memphis, Tennessee, USA on January 15, 2013 for her to undergo open heart surgery for atrial septal defect (ASD), commonly known as ‘Hole-in-the-heart’.

“Digicel is extremely proud of Terriann’s progress, and feels very privileged to be a part of her life,” James said.
