The Indian Action Committee (IAC) held its annual Christmas Outreach on December 18, 2016 at the Virginia Primary School, Cane Grove, East Coast Demerara which was attended by more than two hundred less fortunate children from the village.
A release from the IAC said that it provided each child with a box of food and accompanied by either a soft drink or a fruit juice.
The IAC also entertained the children with music by the Vijay Sound System of Enmore who played a mixture of Christmas songs and chutney music, the latter to which some of the children danced to competitions for best male and female dancer.
After all the children had eaten and the dancing competition was over, each child was presented with a gift and a party bag by Santa Claus.
