THE Cane Grove Reunion Group has continued its annual charity effort, aimed at supporting the elderly and vulnerable in the community.Last month, the group made the donation at the Virginia Primary School, where a total of 90 food hampers were distributed, 84 to recipients in Cane Grove and six to a charity in Grove, Mahaicony, also on East Coast of Demerara.
The hampers, valued about $6,000 each, contained one live chicken, rice, flour, chowmein, macaroni, milk, sardines, oil, sugar, salt, onions, garlic, peas, potatoes and a soda.
Assisting in the distribution were Lieutenant Colonel, Jaswick Williams of the Guyana Defence Force and attorney-at-law and former Member of Parliament, Jerome Khan, both distinguished sons of Cane Grove.
The benefactors also expressed sincere appreciation to several supporters of the charitable initiative, which goes some ways towards improving the lives of those less fortunate in the community.
The Cane Grove Reunion Group is a New York-based non-governmental organisation run by a team of overseas-based Guyanese, a release stated.
