NATIONAL Hardware (Guyana) Limited on Tuesday held their annual Christmas party for the children of Tiger Bay and its environs at the West End Youth Club at Holmes Street, Georgetown. The party was attended by 200 children.

Marketing and Sales Manager, Fiazal Sattaur, told this publication that every year they sponsor toys, delightful meals, goodies and beverages for children of the Tiger Bay area as their way of giving back to the community.

He explained that this year it is no different; on Tuesday excited children came out in their numbers and crowded the upper flat of the two-storeyed wooden building as they munched on snacks and other eatables as they waited to collect their toys.

Sattaur said they had catered for 200 children and he was very pleased with the turn-out; there were a variety of toys to distribute for both boys and girls.

He stated that in addition, they had donated to several charitable organisations and will continue even into the new year.

Staffers of National Hardware (Guyana) Ltd. were on hand to serve the children, who came in tow with some parents to supervise them.

As the toys distribution got underway, it was evident on the faces of many that they were pleased with their gifts which ranged from helicopters, trucks, and cars- all controlled by remote- while the girls had fancy dolls and other relevant toys.

One smiling girl told this publication that she was very pleased with her gift as she held onto it tightly making her way down the stairs.
