First Lady Foundation spreads Christmas cheer at Black Bush Polder
THE First Lady’s Foundation yesterday embarked on a series of Christmas parties, distributing gifts to some 600 children in Black Bush Polder, Region 6 (East Berbice Corentyne).
First Lady Deolatchmee Ramotar visited Yakusari Primary, Joanna Primary, Mibikuri Primary and Lesbeholden Primary Schools distributing gifts and snacks to the children. The children entertained the First Lady with poems and dances and in turn, the elves and helpers of the First Lady sang carols, played games and danced with the children.
As Santa appeared to assist the First Lady with the distribution of gifts to the 600 boys and girls, she noted that she was “very heartened to see the children having a lovely time at the party.”
Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle, Mrs Ramotar explained that this is her favourite time of the year and feels the best way to celebrate this festive season is to spend it with children. “It’s a period when you share with children and I always feel fulfilled when I do this,” she said. She deemed the first of the four distributions a complete success, as they were able to present each child with a Christmas gift.
