LAST December, a story on Bridget Dundas and her nine children was in the news, highlighting her struggles with them and the difficulties she faced as a single parent during previous years.
On Christmas Day, she and her children had a humble meal of boulanger and sausage, and, after reading the story, Digicel decided to surprise the family with a complete Christmas meal, groceries and clothing vouchers, through its “Brighten Someone’s Christmas” promotion.

Subsequently, after seeing the need in the home, it was decided to surprise Dundas for the Digicel Anniversary with a brand new gas stove complete with cylinder and fittings.
When the Digicel representatives arrived at her home, she was at work but her 18-year-old son, Carl McKenzie, and some of his siblings were totally shocked and surprised.
This was the same reaction Digicel got from his mother when she was contacted on the phone. She exclaimed: “Oh my God, Digicel! You have made my day! Thank you, thank you for remembering me and my children! This will help us a lot!”
As part of Digicel’s seventh anniversary celebrations, customers will enjoy seven days of prizes and surprises, starting February Friday, 14 and ending Thursday, February 20.
Customers are encouraged to keep their phones free and to tune in to Digicel Morning Vibes on 100.1Fresh FM from 06:00 hrs to 09:00 hrs (Monday to Friday) as they may be lucky winners of ‘FREEBIES’.
Seven lucky customers can win an identical Smartphone purchased for their Valentine in the “Anniversary Phone Sale” promotion. Three of them, who receive top-ups from abroad, will each get a $50,000 voucher redeemable at King’s Jewellery World.
Digicel wishes to thank all its customers for their continued support over the seven years of operation in Guyana. (Michel Outridge)
