Prime Minister Mark Phillips yesterday called on Guyanese to support the Salvation Army’s Annual Christmas Kettle Appeal. He was speaking during the launch of the fundraising event at the Umana Yana today.
During his remarks, the Prime Minister emphasised that the Christmas season, while joyous for many, can be particularly challenging for families struggling to make ends meet; for individuals battling illnesses or addictions; and those without homes. He stressed that the Salvation Army’s work becomes even more vital during these times, a release from the Office of the Prime Minister said.
“The Salvation Army’s continued commitment to humanity is certainly inspiring. Your organisation, with its tireless efforts, has become a symbol of hope for the vulnerable, the hungry, the ill, and the marginalised in our society.”
