In the spirit of the Yuletide Season, Oropouche East MP Dr Roodal Moonilal financially assisted primary schools in his constituency by giving representatives what he referred to as a "token of help."

The tokens, he said, can be used to organise their school treats, snack bags, and whatever else is needed for Christmas celebrations. He distributed the tokens at his constituency office in Debe on November 26. He did share the amount of money the schools received.

The MP, who is also the Minister of Energy, explained that his office receives letters each year from schools, temples, churches, and other organisations requesting assistance with their Christmas activities.

"It is not possible all the time to assist in a way that we would like, and it certainly is not possible for me to be attending every single one of the school functions. I wish I had the time to do it. But it is not that simple," Moonilal said.

"I ask you, when you have your functions, you can still invite us, depending on time, depending on what we're doing. We do not mind popping in for a few minutes to say hello to the wider staff and parents associated with your school."

He added it is always hard to attend all events.

"This is a small token of our generosity and appreciation to you," he said.

Nine primary schools benefited from the gesture.

These 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.

The representatives expressed their gratitude for the gesture. One said, "It will go a long way in making many put a smile on their faces."
