MINISTER of Natural Resources Raphael Trotman on Wednesday with an entourage visited the Linden Hospital Complex and shared kites and gifts to spread Easter holiday cheer.

The minister, his wife Teresa Trotman and fellow Alliance for Change Region 10 officials, visited the paediatric ward and the hospital’s Little Friends Child Care and Drop-in Centre. He interacted with the children, nurses and caregivers. The minister said that he was in Linden in a private capacity to check on the construction of a house for a family in need and took the opportunity to visit the hospital.

Public Relations Officer of the LHC, Toshanna Allicock, expressed appreciation to the minister for his thoughtful gesture and felt confident that although the children were hospitalised during the Easter holiday period, the gifts will lift their spirits. Easter kite flying will be enjoyed on Monday in many countries.
