Digicel Foundation hosts treat for children with special needs
THE Digicel Foundation spread holiday cheer this season with its ‘Share the Love Christmas Treat’ held at Funland, Hope Gardens last Friday.
The event welcomed 100 children with special needs from nine schools across Kingston and St Andrew, with the enthusiastic support of more than 50 volunteers.
The children enjoyed a magical day filled with unlimited rides and attractions at Funland, while meals were provided by KFC.
Sponsors Sunshine Snacks, Seprod, and Nestlé added to the festivities with snacks and treats, while Cal’s Manufacturing and Wisynco kept everyone refreshed with juice and water.
To make the day even more special, Musson Foundation and JPS Foundation generously donated goodie bags, and each child received a toy to take home, spreading smiles and joy all around.
Reflecting on the significance of the event, Digicel Foundation CEO Charmaine Daniels said, “At Digicel Foundation, inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. This season, we are reminded of the importance of not just celebrating, but ensuring that children with special needs are seen, valued, and included in the festivities. We are grateful for the support of our incredible sponsors and volunteers who came together to help us share the joy of the holidays with these amazing children.”
She pointed out that the Share the Love Christmas Treat underscores Digicel Foundation’s commitment to creating inclusive opportunities in the communities they serve.
“This event was made possible through the generosity of partners who share the vision of spreading love and cheer during the season of giving,” said Daniels.
