The East Canje Lions Club, in an effort to instill the values of proper hygiene on the younger generation, conducted counselling sessions and gifted 52 youngsters with hygiene kits. The hygiene kits were handed out to kids at the Edinborough, Gay Park and Lansdale Mandirs.
The children were very grateful for the kits that included towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soaps, nail clippers and combs.
That was not the only contribution by the Lions Club for the month. On February 12, last, the club handed over $15,000 and a wheel chair to two needy youngsters. Fourteen-year-old Andre Narine from New Amsterdam received a wheel chair. The lad has been paralysed for about three years now.
Eight-year-old Deepa Sahadeo has a very serious and rare heart condition and has to travel to India to undergo a specialist surgery. The child was granted $15,000 towards her heart surgery fund.
The cheque was handed over by the club’s treasurer Mr. Gahamandi and the donation was made by Dr. Jairaj and Elizabeth Prashad who both are overseas-based East Canje Lions Club members.
However, the wheel chair which values $60,000 and the hygiene kits were donations made with funds from the Lions Club treasury.
The Lions Club has given away a total of six wheelchairs in the past seven months and last month, hosted a free Dental Clinic that treated over 40 persons.
The president of the club, Mr. Devin Sookraj, says that the next time he hosts a clinic he would like to serve a larger group of persons to benefit.
