THE Enterprise Youth Development Group (EYDG) yesterday assisted a family left homeless after a fire burnt everything they had to ashes.

On November 2014, the home of the Imran Khan and Sherry Bacchus was destroyed by fire.
The EYDG was struck by the thought of a family within their community without a place to call home, so according to President of the EYDG, Samantha Sheoprashad several letters were written and directed to various organisations to assist the group in working to reach out to the family.
“In the month of December, the youths of EYDG decided to pool their resources and efforts together in order to assist the family. They went to a shop in Enterprise and purchased a number of household items,” she said.
According to Sheoprashad, the ounce of togetherness, cooperation and love sent inspiration to Gavin Sharma, an overseas-based citizen who recently gave monetary assistance to the Imran Khan family.
Currently the family is rebuilding their home and is seeking help from family, friends and public-spirited persons in doing so.
Sherry was grateful for the help and promised to keep working towards recovering her losses.
“I am very much grateful for this assistance, this is my first step towards rebuilding and I will continue to work towards providing for my family.”
This project is a part of our Community Service and Humanitarian project for the President Youth Award Republic of Guyana which caters to mould the minds of participant. Presenting is Pyarg-Enterprise –Kelly Oripersaud, Pyarg Curtis Martin and other leaders within the Enterprise Youth Development Group.
EYDG said it was happy to be a part of this process in assisting the family in rebuilding and would extend gratitude to Gavin Sharma and friends who would have made this initiative a success.
