The Ministry of Human Services and Social Security (MoHSSS) recently launched its inaugural “Wish Upon A Star” initiative for special needs children and 50 were granted their wishes.
A MoHSSS release yesterday explained that under the “Wish Upon A Star” initiative, the wishes of 50 children with special needs were granted for Christmas. Among the 50 were five year-old Ayush Bharat; 12 year-old twins Hafizah and Saleemah Harmon, and their eight year-old sister Shareefa. They met President Irfaan Ali yesterday afternoon at State House.
Prior to the State House visit, several of the beneficiaries visited the Ministry’s head office to uplift their gifts from Minister Vindhya Persaud who was moved by the children’s reactions.
