Wednesday 7th January 2015, Anguilla- Reggae Star Omari Banks took a break from his “No Point To Prove” promotional trail to bring musical holiday cheers to the inspirational children of Arijah Children’s Foundation in Anguilla.
Digicel, the largest mobile telecommunications operator in the Caribbean stopped by the Blossom center / Arijah Foundation in Anguilla to provide ipads for the kids, while Omari sang a song for the beautiful Arijah Harrigan, the Daughter of founder Renuka Harrigan. Humbled by the young girl, Omari stated “It’s always great to bring joy and put a smile on a person face, when it’s a child it is even more special, I’m happy to partner with Digicel for such a meaningful contribution to the youth of Anguilla.”
Arijah Harrigan has a foundation named after her because she was born special. Her family created a non-profit foundation in her namesake and bearing her brother’s handprint in order to bring hope and the promise of a brighter future for Arijah and children like her. Founded in 2006 the Arijah Children’s Foundation is a non-profit fundraising organization for the Blossom Centre where Anguilla’s children with special needs receive education and therapies to help them learn how to walk and talk and gives hope for a brighter future.
Marketing Executive Roxanne Webster commented, The Digicel team is always happy to show support to the youth and fostering of young children in the Anguilla. We are proud to be involved with this initiative and it gives us great pleasure to know that the students will be able to learn from special programs and features on their new iPads”.
Through the kind and generous donations of many individuals, businesses and community groups, the Foundation opened the Blossom Centre on September 6, 2010 and today provides daily educational and therapeutic programs and services for Anguilla’s children with special needs.
