FOOD for the Poor (Guyana) Incorporated held its annual Angels of Hope “Day of Celebration” yesterday to honour the works of the National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) students from various orphanages.The event, staged at the Carifesta Sports Complex Ground on Carifesta Avenue, saw participation of children from several orphanages and officials of Food for the Poor presenting the children with a fun-filled day.

The orphanages that benefited from this exercise were Alpha Children’s Home, Camal Home International, Joshua House Children’s Center, St. John Bosco Boys’ Orphanage, Save the Kids Children’s Home, Bright Horizon Children’s Home, Bless the Children, Children of Promise, and A Sanctuary Children’s Home.

The children from these orphanages had sat the Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) examinations earlier this year. As such, the donors (both overseas and local) felt the need to reward them with hampers and certificates for their efforts.

Regular visits are usually made by Ms Asha Wayne, coordinator of the “Angels of Hope”, who would supply the children with monthly clothing, food, toiletries, school supplies and other necessities.
