CITY gift store, HYGIENE HUT, is observing its first birthday with the less fortunate in mind, and has partnered with cell-phone firm, Telco Solutions, in its first anniversary promotion to give customers free cell-phone credit with purchases made at Hygiene Hut. Some of the proceeds will be donated at the end of the promotion to the Guyana Relief Council, a non-governmental organisation that frequently assists victims of natural disasters and fires.
Ms. Lynette Carter, Administrative Officer of the Council, expressed appreciation for the donation on behalf of her organisation. “We appreciate the gesture by the store to remember us as the agency of their choice. We do appreciate the thought,” Carter said when told by the store’s Managing Director, Mr. Shiv Nandalall about the intended contribution.
Nandalall observed that it must never be the intention of a business enterprise, however small, to focus only on its own profit-making objectives.
“We as a society must remember those around us, especially the ones who become victims of circumstance,” Nandalall commented. “It is therefore mandatory that our young and budding operation begin to honour its social obligations at this early stage,” he said.
The gift store’s first anniversary promotion runs from April 27 to May 9, 2015. Customers making purchases from $3,000 at the Regent Road facility will get $300 free top-up for both DIGICEL and GT&T cell-phones.
