The second phase of the creation of a playfield for the children of the Shaheed Boys and Girls Orphanages is in progress at the Oleander Gardens, East Coast Demerara location of the Girls Orphanage.
The institution’s Board of Management, last year, undertook the project to create the facility for the orphans and vulnerable children.
Chairman of the Board, Badruddin Hassan, in a press release, stated that when completed, this will be the first such institution to have such a facility.
This current phase of the project is estimated to cost approximately $2M and will see the complete rebuilding of the perimeter fences and the land filling to create the playfield at the back of the Girls Orphanages.
Machinery for this phase of the project was supplied free of cost by M. Raffik and Sons Construction Co. of Corentyne, Berbice.
When completed, the facility will allow the children to enjoy outdoor sporting and recreational activities and the staging of the Orphans’ Fun Day.
The Shaheed Orphanages have served the Muslim community and the wider Guyanese community for over five decades and presently has over 60 children housed at the institutions.
