INNER WHEEL CLUB of Georgetown, Guyana donated hampers and cash to the Help and Shelter- Crisis Centre last Thursday at Help and Shelter’s Home Stretch Avenue board room. 

At the presentation ceremony were the president of the Inner Wheel Club, Aretha Campbell and other members of the organization, while director/counsellor of Help and Shelter, Ms. Isha Husain-Singh, collected the donations.
Donations comprised of cash, approximately $50,000, a hamper with personal care items for women and a box of sanitary pads. The Inner Wheel Club has been in operation for almost 20 years with the aim of “reaching out to the community.”
International Inner Wheel Day was celebrated on January 10 and the donation was part of the commemoration to mark the occasion.
This non-profit organisation helps all institutions every year, in whatever way they can.
On behalf of Help and Shelter, Ms. Singh during her vote of thanks said: “We wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude and thanks to the president, Aretha Campbell and members of the Inner Wheel Club of Georgetown for this generous and timely donation…It is better late than never.”
She also noted that this donation will be used wisely to effectively carry out the programmes of Help and Shelter as it depends heavily for support from private sector companies.
“We make an appeal to you all to come forward and give generously; every dollar you give is accounted for.” Miss Singh said.
