ROSE for Relief, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), on Friday, gifted toys and clothing to 50 children in Moleson Creek, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne), as part of efforts to spread the Christmas cheer in the community.
The NGO was founded by Rozanna Mohamed, a Nursery School teacher of Number 78 Village; she said that the toys were donated by her and some of her friends while the clothes were from a barrel they collected from an overseas donor.
The NGO has been around since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and it mostly helps single parents, the elderly and children.
“I started during COVID because a lot of people were out of jobs, like the single mothers, they were finding it hard,” Rosey related.
The NGO has held similar activities in many other communities across Guyana.
