The East Canje Humanitarian Society (ECHS) responded to a call from a centenarian for a hearing aid. Ellen Benny, 101, of Lot 25, Number Two Village, East Canje, has a hearing problem.
Her son, Edmond, said that most of the woman’s relatives have forgotten her in these, her times of need. He made a call for a hearing aid for his mother so that she can hear the sounds of life around her. He also appealed for any assistance towards his mother’s welfare.
And so, Mrs. Kawalpattie Diaram and other women of the ECHS responded by visiting Ms. Benny and presenting her with a food hamper, a cane and a hammock. Ms. Benny was also pampered. She was dressed nicely and even had her hair neatly combed by the ladies during the recent visit.
A few days ago, the members of ECHS took Benny to a doctor at the New Amsterdam Hospital to have her ears examined. The doctor related that the centenarian’s ear was filled with wax and had to be cleaned. She is to re- visit the doctor later this month, only then it will be determined whether she needs the hearing aid, being provided by the ECHS.
“He said that if we get out the wax, maybe she could hear without the hearing- aid—we have got to wait and see,” said Sharon Beepat, Vice President of ECHS.
“He told us to keep soaking (the ear) with Olive oil.”
Beepat stated that through donations and funds from the ECHS, the group decided to assist the centenarian with material needs. They plan to supply her with food items every three months.
