For this joyous season, the four Toastmasters Clubs of Area 39 in Guyana extended kindness to the children of the Red Cross Children’s Convalescent Home in D’Urban Backlands. The members are thankful for all they have received through the education programme and uses this season to give back by showing generosity and kindness.
The Clubs of Area 39 include three Corporate Clubs: Bank of Guyana Royale Toastmasters Club, Unicomer Pacesetters Toastmasters Club (Courts Main Street) and GTT Trailblazers Toastmasters Club, and one Community Club: Cacique Toastmasters Club. Each member contributed to this humanitarian gesture by providing hampers filled with food items, cleaning agents and baby supplies. Toys and balloons were distributed to every child. A short programme was prepared to allow interaction with the children through singing of carols and sharing the Christmas Story. At the end of the programme everyone enjoyed refreshments and the children enjoy time on a trampauline and playing games with the Toastmasters.
Toastmasters International, a non-profit organization, provides a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth.
