Digicel Foundation gifts Chaguanas preschool with playground

EDEN Academy preschool in Chaguanas now has a new playground thanks to the Digicel Foundation.

In a statement on Wednesday, the foundation said the Digicel retention team delivered the playground as a Christmas gift.

Digicel’s collections and retention supervisor Stephanie Joseph said outdoor spaces for playing and learning have a positive impact on the “holistic development of early learners.” Joseph, along with her colleagues Shermelle King, Alyssa Awai, and Tia Isaac got $10,000 through the Digicel Foundation’s Digi Christmas is D Bess staff initiative and used it for the project.

The statement said the children got toys, party bags and a “fun-filled day with a bouncy castle and games at the playground unveiling on Friday.

“In addition to play park equipment, the Digicel team also donated a plant grow box to the school to introduce the children to growing their own food. The children started things off right away by planting celery and chive.”
