Sixty-two mothers and expectant mothers were the recipients of hampers filled with baby products from the” Mommy and Me” project.
The project is the brainchild of American Social worker Jean Nurse who was born to Guyanese parents.
The team headed by Nurse included Tonya Davis, Jennifer Harry, Sandra Hope, Taniel Rice, Pastor Brenda Sam, Shameka Bhagwandin, Margaret Baird, Donnette Bentham, Michelle Daniels and Shemroy Limerick.
Nurse said that it is her way of giving back to Guyana and that she was pleased with the response.
A member of the project Jennifer Harry said that she was happy that Ms. Nurse chose Linden, calling it an awesome presentation.
She added that she is confident that all mothers and expectant mothers will appreciate the contents of the packages.
The first group to receive the hampers was the soon-to-be mothers, and mothers in the Maternity Ward at the New Linden Hospital complex. They were followed by the attendees of the high risk antenatal clinic at the old hospital building in Mackenzie.
The team then went across to the Upper Demerara Hospital (Wismar Hospital) where more hampers were distributed.
Ward sister at the Linden Hospital Complex, Jenifer Melville- Nelson, speaking on behalf of the hospital, expressed gratitude to Jean Nurse for considering Linden for the “Mommy and Me” project.
She expressed the hope that the mothers will put the gifts to the best use while adding, that she looks forward to other similar contributions which would greatly assists mothers.
One thankful mother said that she is expecting her second child and this is the first time that she has received such a generous donation, and that she will make good use of the items received.
Jean Nurse has been doing similar projects for many years and says she hopes that she can do the “Mommy and Me” distribution on a yearly basis, but if this cannot be achieved it will be done every two years.
