Comfort Sleep hosts annual Christmas Programme

IT was fun galore for over 500 children over the last few days as Comfort Sleep Guyana Inc. embarked on its annual Christmas Cheer Programme, hosting four Christmas Parties for less fortunate children.

The children were drawn from communities within Georgetown, West Demerara and New Amsterdam, Berbice.
The first and usually the biggest party was held at the Malgre Tout Roman Catholic Church compound, West Bank Demerara, on Saturday December 9, 2017 and catered for 245 children. They were drawn from La Grange Primary School; Malgretout Primary School; La Parfaite Harmonie Primary School and Bagsotville Primary School.

The second party, held at Eclipse Hall, New Amsterdam, Berbice was hosted on Sunday December 10. It catered for 145 children, drawn from the New Amsterdam Feeding Programme and from Friends Primary School and Edun-Burg Primary School, Berbice. The children catered for at the Malgretout Primary School and those in New Amsterdam are all beneficiaries of Comfort Sleep’s Schools’ Feeding Programmes conducted throughout the year which provides them with a hot meal three days per week.

The parties were quite a treat and brought joy to the hearts of the children who were extremely excited and appreciative of the kind gesture. There was lots of fun and goodies and the children were treated to chicken-and-chips, salad, drink, ice cream. At the end of the parties, every child was given a Christmas gift.

The third party which was held in Georgetown was hosted at the Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre, Carmichael Street on December 12, 2017. That party was for 101 children of that institution, as well as those visiting the centre for therapy. Comfort Sleep has also been providing support for those children for the last 20 years.
Meanwhile, the fourth party was hosted at the Princess Fun City, Ramada Hotel, East Bank Demerara and was for 21 children from the Ruimveldt Children’s Home, East La Penitence. That group is supported by Comfort Sleep on a monthly basis.

Each of the parties offered great fun and excitement as attested to by the children and their teachers/caretakers. Apart from benefitting in all the goodies shared by the other children, the children at Fun City enjoyed rides; watched new animated movies, such as “The Star” and played games such as Rambo, ManX, Bed Monsters, Annon Ball Run, Fire Fighter, Fireman, Skytroopers and Razino Storm.

For more than 10 years, Managing Director of Comfort Sleep, Mr. Dennis Charran and his wife, Mrs. Sabita Charran, have been hosting annual Christmas Parties for the children, almost 400 of whom are beneficiaries of his Schools’ Feeding Programme, which offers them hot meals when at school.

The children, as well as their teachers and counsellors/caretakers join in extending gratitude and congratulations to the Management and Staff of Comfort Sleep for helping to make their Christmas bright.

Ms. Jennifer Babb, Administrator of the Ruimveldt Children’s Home and Care Centre, on behalf of the Board of Directors, the staff, children and volunteers of her institution, as well as officials and children of all other schools and groups involved, extended heartfelt gratitude to Mr. and Mrs Charraan and staff of Comfort Sleep for the extensive support they have given them through the years. “We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous and God-blessed 2018,” Ms. Babb concluded.

Meanwhile, Mr. Charran who has a great love for little children, said it is always a pleasure for him to reach out to the institutions in whatever way he could. He is also expressing sincere thanks and special Christmas greetings to his loyal customers and the shopping public at large, for purchasing Comfort Sleep’s products.

“Each time you buy our products – be it a mattress or a pillow, you are helping to satisfy the needs of these children,” he gratefully acknowledged.
