Toys were donated to the school directly by e TecK\u2019s staff in response to a corporate toy drive conducted two weeks prior to the school\u2019s Christmas Treat. They were gift wrapped and tagged accordingly to the appropriate age categories. All was in gear for the\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"EN-TT\">delivery and distribution of the gifts and our mission was solely to place a smile on every child\u2019s face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span lang=\"EN-TT\">The air was filled with anticipation upon the arrival of the e TecK team. When the toys were in arms reach and little hands finally grasped their Christmas treasures, excitement erupted from each and every child. Needless to say the mission was accomplished. Principal Lakhiram expressed the highlight for her, at this year\u2019s event, was seeing the happiness in her student\u2019s faces, and the appreciation they showed towards the gesture. <\/span>A planned initiative by Lakhiram is to provide opportunities for each child to learn more about the sites and scenes of Trinidad and Tobago and even plans to take the students to an excursion to Tobago next year.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span lang=\"EN-TT\">Corporate Communications Manager at e TecK, Carol-Ann McKenzie, stated \u201cThe Cumuto Presbyterian School Toy Drive has been a pleasure to every member of staff who contributed towards the project.
