CHILDREN from foster homes and schools glowed for Sandals Foundation volunteers this holiday season when the team delivered their annual Christmas toys and treats.

More than 300 toys and treats were distributed to the Centre for the Deaf, Gambier Primary School, Children’s Emergency Hostel, Elizabeth Estates Home, Ranfurly Home and the AIDS Foundation. Another 600 toys were donated to other charitable organisations, including a drive for the children in islands affected by Hurricane Joaquin.

The Sandals Foundation threw a huge party for the children of Exuma with food, drinks and toys.

The Sandals Foundation and the Hasbro toy company have enjoyed a partnership for several years that has allowed the entities to bring Christmas to children across the Caribbean.

Every year, the Sandals Foundation seeks to bring cheer to kids who may not receive a gift for Christmas. The foundation uses this time of year in particular to share with the nation’s young people.

A representative from the Elizabeth Estates Home said: “We’re so glad you’re here because if you didn’t come the children would most likely not get anything much for Christmas.”
