THE Sonia Noel Foundation for Creative Arts (SNFCA) last Sunday hosted a Fun Day and Talent Show for the orphans and under-privileged children from the Drop-in Centre in Sophia and Joshua House on Thomas Street.The children, who were between the ages of six and 17, were treated to various games and face painting. A mini talent show was also held, allowing the children to showcase their talents through poetry, song and dance.

“I was not surprised by the talent exhibited, because we have talent in abundance in Guyana.
“I feel blessed that the Foundation was able to host these precious kids. We spoke about love, and what it means to us,” Sonia Noel said.

She added that the event was held just before the reopening of school to help send the children back out on a good note. “We wanted to hold something specifically for these children, so that when they returned to school, they would have great stories to tell their peers about their Easter Holiday,” she said.

But Noel noted that the event was also held so as to help add an enriching experience to the children’s lives.
“These children have been exposed to some things that children should not be exposed to, so we are trying to give them great, happy experiences to counteract the negative things they have been through,” she said.
