came up with this Shoe Box Challenge to give back … because we care and we will do more for you — the elderly, the young and everyone in Guyana,” she said, according to a GTT release.
The Shoe Box Challenge challenged employees to package shoe boxes with care items suitable for residents of the Palms. The institution was identified because its proximity to GTT and also because the staff felt that often, the elderly are forgotten in benevolent activities.
The response was very heartening. Employees, including Engineers, Technicians, Customer Care Representatives, Clerks, Managers and the Executive Management participated in the shoe box challenge. Employees had approximately three weeks in which to complete the challenge. The staffers were very excited and compassionate as they showed up in their numbers to assist in distributing the gifts to the residents.
