Digicel Guyana hosted their first ever back to school out reach in the mining town of Linden on Saturday August 25th. The event which catered for more than three hundred children featured a mobile dental clinic, barbering stations, backpacks with school supplies including books, stationery; snacks, fun and games.
“This event is geared at giving back mainly to the children, hosting a back to school outreach like this in Linden has been in the cards for sometime now. This is the perfect time to do it with just a few weeks left for the summer holiday. Fostering youth and community development is one area that we at Digicel are pleased to support” said Gregory Dean, CEO Digicel Guyana.
In 2016 Digicel hosted their first back to school outreach of this nature where they catered to over five hundred children. Saturday’s event saw a large turn out of parents and children at the Amelia’s Ward Basketball Court. One parent mentioned that they hope to see more events like this in the mining town and was happy to see that Digicel was giving back to the kids “I am a Digicel customer from day one and it is good to see them here in Linden today, in my home town.”
