Caring for those who once cared for us. Digicel’s staff enjoyed one of life’s most treasured moments by spending some quality time with the elderly at the Alleyne’s Nursing and Convalescent Home in Petit Valley.
On December 9, armed with a refrigerator, a washing machine, music, refreshments and unlimited Christmas cheer, the Digicel team began their well-anticipated afternoon of fun activities, a release said.
From dancing to the sweet rhythms of parang, to having their nails painted and listening to the riveting stories of the residents in their younger days, the Digicel Foundation truly experienced how positively influential spending time with the elderly can be.
Receiving the tokens from Digicel Foundation’s project officer Cindyann Currency was matron and founder of the home, Mrs Allyene who could not contain her gratitude for the contributions. After graciously thanking the Digicel Foundation for their benevolence, Allyene said a humbling prayer for them.
At that moment the entire home felt the true warmth of the Christmas spirit.
One of the residents, Reverend Coombs also shared her appreciation by thanking the team for “bringing cheer to the heart,” and emotionally pointed out why, “it’s important to give back and to share hope with others.”
