THE Verasammy family along with Food For The Poor (FFTP) recently brought Christmas cheer to the children of Mahaicony.

According to the FFTP Guyana, over 150 children from the Region Five community were able to benefit from the heartwarming gesture thanks to the collaborative efforts of Food For The Poor Guyana, Food For The Poor Canada, and generous donors Richard and Carrol Verasammy.

It was stated that this effort to host an early Christmas event, which was held at the Carlton Hall Primary School, resulted in joy and festive cheer being brought to the community of Mahaicony.

As indicated by the FFTP Guyana, the Verasammy family played a central role in the day’s celebrations which saw both Richard and Carrol Verasammy making an appearance as Santa and Mrs. Claus, personally distributing gifts to the children.
Along with other members of the Verasammy family, they created long lasting memories with the children.

FFTP stated that one of the young attendees expressed her delight, saying, “This event will always be in my memory because I have never experienced something like this before.” The organisation said the child’s words encapsulate the joy and wonder felt by children during this special occasion.

Additionally, the FFTP Guyana said the Christmas party was a true testament to the spirit of giving, as the combined efforts of Food For The Poor and the Verasammy family created an unforgettable experience for the children of Mahaicony.

Such initiatives exemplify the positive impact of compassion and community support during the holiday season.
