In a heartwarming gesture to celebrate the Yuletide season, Dr Roodal Moonilal, Member of Parliament for Oropouche East and Minister of Energy, provided financial assistance to nine primary schools within his constituency. On November 26, at his constituency office in Debe, Dr Moonilal presented representatives from these schools with what he described as a ‘token of help.’ These funds are intended to support the schools in organizing Christmas treats, snack bags, and other festive activities. While the exact amount of the financial aid was not disclosed, the MP emphasized the importance of supporting community initiatives during the holiday season. Dr Moonilal explained that his office receives numerous requests for assistance from schools, temples, churches, and other organizations each year. Although he acknowledged the challenges of attending every event, he expressed his willingness to make brief appearances when possible. The schools that benefited from this initiative include Monkey Town Government, Debe SDMS, Mohess Road SDMS, Ramai Trace SDMS, Debe Presbyterian, Canaan Presbyterian, Hermitage Presbyterian, Picton Presbyterian, and Cedar Grove Private Primary. Representatives from these schools expressed their gratitude, with one stating that the support would ‘go a long way in putting smiles on many faces.’
