Feed a Child for the Holidays

Feed a Child for the Holidays is a private group dedicated to making a humanitarian effort to support the less fortunate children in orphanages in Guyana in keeping with the spirit of Christmas. Feed a Child for the Holidays endeavours to bring gifts and encouragement to children. It is a charitable initiative that will provide gifts, food items, basic necessities, and clothing for two (2) sets of orphans and vulnerable children in Guyana.

Recently, Feed a Child for the Holidays planned a Christmas party for the children of Youth Challenge Guyana’s Orphans and Vulnerable Children’s programme on the 15th December, 2007. Over 60 children were treated to a fun filled party; there was face painting, games and lots of food. At the end of the party each child was given a gift and a party bag.

The second activity will be on 22nd December and this would be for the children of the Convalescent home. Feed a Child for the Holidays will be taking gifts and a snack for the children. Also there will be face painting. We intend to spend the afternoon with the children at the Convalescent home.

Feed a Child for the Holidays would not be a success without the help of local businesses and public spirited citizens who all pitched in and contributed to the worthy cause.
