EHRLC kids get Digicel’s 1st batch of gifts
Yesterday November 20, 2014, Digicel’s Marketing Public Relations Executive, Digicel (BVI) Limited Jasmine A. Perez was back on the road rolling out their Christmas cheers as the season gets underway the students of the Eslyn Henley Richiez Learning Centre were the first set of kids in the Territory to have their Digicel wrapped gifts ahead of December 24 when gifts are most times opened.
This news site was on the spot to witness what is always a pleasure: to share in the smile of a child especially those who are challenged in varied ways. There were gifts of all sizes and shapes and as children would always be some were bent on ensuring that they were the recipient the bigger wrapped gifts.
But at the end it didn’t matter the size, as the countdown to zero was given for them to unwrap their gift size was no issue but because they quickly learnt that big gifts do sometimes come wrapped in small packages. With the exception of one, everyone was happy with their gift and all immediately got down to playing their devises.
“I want a big one,” said one boy, “Next year we’ll be sure that you get a big one ok,” responded Ms Perez and with that assurance her cheeks got a taste of his lips with a kiss saying, “Thank You.”
Among the students was one young man who was visually impaired and his gift of being able to identify things without physically seeing it came into play. Even before he opened his neatly wrapped gift he passed his fingers from one end to the other of the box and accurately said, “Key Board, Key Board.” And right he was.
According to Ms. Perez, with the support of Tree of Hands and Family Support Network, the Children of Sister Island of Anegada can look out for their treat as well.
