Scouts fete needy persons during Christmas season

The Scout Association of Guyana provided a meal and toys for needy children during their ‘Share-a-Meal with Us’ community service project during the Christmas season.

According to a press release from the Scouts Guyana, the association provided boxed lunches and toys for street children and other less fortunate persons at their Woolford Avenue headquarters.

The scouts said their guests were also treated with cake, ice cream and a beverage. Food was also distributed to underprivileged persons who were not able to visit the association.

The release said more than 400 persons, half of whom were children, benefited from the exercise. The meals were prepared by several scout groups. Some groups also donated clothing to the Red Cross convalescent home and to homeless persons.
