COMFORT SLEEP, Guyana’s lead manufacturers and distributors of foam mattress and pillows, on Monday, made a donation of 13 foam mattresses and a matching amount of pillows to the Shaheed’s Boys and Girls Orphanage, located at Lot 157 Alexander Street, Kitty, Georgetown.

The presentation took place at the Orphanage with Comfort Sleep’s Managing Director, Mr. Dennis Charran, and wife, Mrs. Sabita Charran, presenting the gifts to caregiver at the orphanage, Mr. Michael Akbar, who is assisted by his wife.
Akbar expressed gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Charran for the timely donation to the orphanage, which provides a home for more than 30 children (15 boys and 17 girls). He said the orphanage is in need of such items right now, since there was recently an additional intake. The coordinator expressed confidence that the items will provide added comfort to the children at the facility.
Meanwhile, Mr. Charran said Comfort Sleep is pleased to make the donations, adding that it is one of the initiatives that his company rigorously pursues – charitable works and bringing comfort and joy to less fortunate boys and girls.
“It is a pleasure for us to be giving to these entities, especially where kids are concerned,” Charrran said. Charran also urged other businesses to reach out to children in need as a way of giving back to society, especially in helping them acquire a good education, as well as keep them off the streets.
Comfort Sleep has, for the last 10 years or so, been conducting schools’ feeding programmes, providing hot meals to over 500 children at schools in West Demerara, Berbice and elsewhere and holding Christmas parties for them each year, as well as distribute kites at Eastertime. The company also makes tangible donations to the Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre, Carmichael Street, Georgetown, on an ongoing basis.
