Food for the Poor Guyana yesterday presented hampers to the 13 families who suffered losses in the recent Rasville fire. The hampers contained both personal and household articles and the families were promised further assistance in the coming year once more articles become available.

The fire which took place in the wee hours of the morning on November 30 destroyed the homes of 27 people, including children, and caused millions in losses.
