CONTINUING her bid to spread goodwill, reigning Miss World Guyana, Rafieya Husain, recently brought smiles to the faces of over thirty (30) children at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation’s (GPHC) Paediatric Ward when she visited the facility and spent time chatting with the children, who were all delighted to meet her.

“I count it a great privilege to spend part of my day with the children, and I appreciate the warm welcome given. Although it hurts me to see them in pain, I am happy that I can spread some cheer and brighten up their day,” Rafieya said.

The children were treated to a variety of flavored ice-cream, compliments of Brusters, who collaborated with Rafieya in her visit to the hospital.

In advancing her “Shatter the Silence” campaign, nurses from the GPHC Paediatric Ward were presented with bracelets and a booklet, which serve as educational and conversational tools in Rafieya’s campaign to bring awareness on the issue of violence against women.

Public Relations Officer of the GPHC, Mitzy Campbelle, expressed appreciation for Rafieya’s visit and for Brusters’ kind contribution in spreading cheer to the children, which she noted as “timely and thoughtful”.
