donations were part of its initiatives to reach out to the less
privileged in the country. ‘’This is part of our Corporate Social
Responsibility Programmes. It is meant to give the less privileged a
feel of excitement during this festive season so that they do not feel
forgotten or abandoned”, the source stated. The Christmas period, the
company said, is meant for spreading love and goodwill and showing care
and concern for the less privileged in society. There are many children
out there lacking in several respects. Some lack food and good clothing,
while some lack the love of their biological parents. We must spare a
thought for them as we enjoy the Yuletide with our loved ones”, the
company added.
