Faada Wants You to Donate Christmas Toys for the Children

It’s that time of year again when we come together to spread some holiday cheer to kids who might not be as fortunate. Many groups are raising funds to buy toys for children who otherwise wouldn’t get any gifts. Traffic safety activist Phillip “Faada” Henry dropped by our office to ask for donations for his Christmas toy drive and party. He also had a special request for the Belize City Council on the day he plans to kick off his toy drive.

“The Christmas party comes up on the, it’s actually the 20th of December. Okay.  Basically, I am all over the city at this time to try to gain 500 toys for 500 children who will be happy for this Christmas.  I am here at Channel 5 also to pledge to Channel 5 to be a part of this initiative to make children happy. The reason for this Christmas party is for the Cinderella Plaza area to be closed off by the traffic department. I appeal to the Mayor of Lee City for closing off of the Cinderella Plaza, whereby all these children will gather on the 20th of December, which is, a day of fun, you know I’m appealing to the entire community, across different community. I will also have 36 elderly women. Why will I have 36 elderly women? These are the women who grandmothers who take children to school and pick them up back. We found 36 elderly lady who have been doing great over the year and coming to the end of the year. I will do a makeover of these ladies they will get a fully makeover dress Well, and they will be taken out for dinner and also be received our pantry for their home As well and gift by different business community Miss Marianne i’m appealing to everybody to try to throw in a toy to be a part of this initiative so that we doesn’t have a child left out.  The toy is going to be from a female and male. Any, so a girl toy or a boy toy. If you cannot give a toy, we are asking you to please donate to, um, my, my phone number, which is 600 1288. My name is Philip Father Henry.
