Special needs children can make a wish this holiday season

Two of the boxes

The Ministry of Human Services and Social Security has launched an initiative where special needs children between the ages of 4 and 15 can make a wish and an effort would be made to fulfil it.

From yesterday, the ministry began placing `Wish Upon A Star’ mailboxes at its three locations in Georgetown and at probation offices in Regions 2, 3, 5, 6, 9 and 10.

A release from the ministry said that it will be engaging a number of companies and entities to make the children’s wishes become reality. In light of this, children between the ages of 4 and 15 are encouraged to write “to say what he or she needs”.
