Minister of Social Protection, Amna Ally, yesterday wrapped up her gift distribution exercise at the Mahaica’s Children Home, Mahaica, East Coast Demerara. Over the last three weeks Minister Ally has been distributing gifts to several communities across the regions of Guyana in an effort to bring cheer to our nation’s children.
During her visit to the Mahaica’s Children Home Ally interacted with the young women and children at the institution. In her brief remarks she stated “children are close to my heart and I know throughout the year you (the children) would have been given good care by the care givers at the home”. She also took the opportunity to thank the care givers for their commitment and their service throughout 2017.
The Assistant Administrator (ag), Ms. Patricia December, thanked the Ministry for their annual gift distribution exercise which ensures Christmas in the children’s home is not far from Christmas in any other home. Minister Ally subsequently joined with the children in the singing of Christmas carols after which gifts were distributed to all present.
Personally, the Minister of Social Protection Amna Ally has touched the lives of over five thousand young children during her visits to different communities such as Paramakatoi, Leguan, Mabaruma, Kwakwani, Lusignan and Buxton, just to name a few. Many other Ministers of government too have been involved in the distribution of Christmas cheer during this festive season bringing a total of over ten thousand children receiving gifts this year.
