– for school-age youths in Mc Doom and Agricola

‘SHARING is caring’ and this is the theme under which Grace Kennedy Remittance Services (Guy) Ltd. plans on reaching out to several youths in Agricola and Mc Doom, who are part of a feeding and mentorship programme organised by the Calvary Assembly of God Church in Mc Doom, East Bank Demerara.

The company recently donated more than $50,000 worth of food items – some of which came with the compliments of Grace Foods – to assist the church in providing hot meals for the children.

This is the second year that the company has joined forces with the church in executing this programme that caters for more than 40 school-age children in the communities.

Marketing Manager Mrs. Natheeah Mendonca said she is extremely happy to once again give back to the communities in this form and expressed hope that the work of both entities is appreciated.

“These children are our future and we have to ensure that they are well nourished to produce the kind of results we are looking for in school. Once we are successful in doing that, we are confident that they will, in turn, make a positive  impact on their communities,” she said.

Meanwhile, Elder of the Calvary AOG Church, Mr. Errol London, said that words cannot express how pleased the church is to be a beneficiary of the items.

He said the foodstuff will go a long way. This is the first of three feeding programmes planned by Grace Kennedy for the year. The company is looking to also target children in Linden and Charlestown communities.
