TELECOMMUNICATIONS giant Digicel yesterday teamed up with several organisations, including the Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC), to host a fun day for children of various orphanages.

According to the Company’s Communications Manager Vidya Sanichara, the idea behind the event was to give back to several children’s homes, especially as it is the season of giving.

“Previously, we would have gone to the different homes and do what we call a Digicel Christmas Cheer but this time, we have decided to bring them together.”
“We have children from Kannan Children’s home in Port Mourant, St John’s Bosco Boys Orphanage, the Shaeed’s Boys & Girls Orphanage and Prabucharran’s home from the West Coast,” she added.
“They are going to get to see Santa, they are going to go home with presents and just leave in a merry spirit for the Christmas holidays.”
Hosted at the GMR&SC facility on Thomas Lands, the children were treated to face-painting, Santa, as well as a show and some lessons on karting.
They were taught the importance of being safe when driving and the ideologies of sportsmanship.
