MORE than 2,000 children were on Sunday treated to an Easter extravaganza by city businessmen in keeping with the sixth year of the tradition, held at “The Garage” on Aubrey Barker Road in South Ruimveldt, Georgetown.
Children were feted and treated to a day of fun and surprises at the South Ruimveldt eatery and entertainment locale.

The kids received kites, meals and other surprises and were entertained by music.
Owner of “The Garage” Estwick Northe, said that as a businessman corporate social responsibility is essential to the society the business serves.

“Once you’re making money, you have to give back to the society in some way, and I believe by doing this, we can share happiness to the youths of today.
“Many people really enjoy the intangible benefit of giving. Giving back to the community gives you a pleasant feeling of connectedness and the satisfaction of at least trying to make the world a better place,” he said.

The businessman explained that as a successful member of the community, “we have a responsibility to help those that are less fortunate and contribute to the common good. I feel this so strongly that it’s been a longstanding practice of mine to donate…to charitable causes.”

Adults in attendance lauded the businessmen and called on the rest of society to join in the spreading of joy, not only at this time of the year, but also whenever the need arises.
The businesses that donated supplies and kites include Hopkinson Mining, Dynasty Night Club, Big Boss Trucking Services, Winedays and Growthvibes among others.
