The Central Islamic Organisation of Guyana (CIOG) has donated money and household items to the Good Intent family of 11 whose home was ravaged by fire on Tuesday morning.
Inshad Alli and his wife, Ramwattie Nagessar, lived in the home with the nine children for over 19 years before the fire, which left millions in losses. The nine children’s clothes were all burnt to ashes in the fire, which Fiore Chief Marlon Gentle had said was caused by children playing with matches while Alli denied that this was the case.
Relatives and neighbours have stated that among the items spared was a Koran, which was discovered on the top flat, where the fire originated, unscathed by the flames. A press release from the CIOG thanked May’s Shopping Center on Regent Street and the Muslim community for their contribution to the family.
Contributions to the family can be channeled through the CIOG on #225-6167 or 271033.
