Second stop in Digicel's series of 'Feel Good Family Fun Day'
Residents of the Coleyville community in Manchester were on Saturday, July 4, treated to an exclusive family day out, as part of Digicel's series of Community Feel Good Family Day Outs. Residents came out in droves to share in the excitement and festivities, in what proved to be an eventful and exciting day.
According to Shelly Ann Curran, senior sponsorship manager at Digicel, "It was a very warm feeling to be able to further connect with our customers on a personal level." She added that "events like these simply reinforce Digicel's commitment to our customers and allow us to continue to share with them in their everyday lives; an event like this truly shows that we are indeed Jamaica's biggest family."
Curran continued: "Activities for the day included face-painting for the kids, domino tournaments and football among other games. What's also wonderful about these events is that we really get the community involved, so entertainment was provided by local community artistes along with D'Angel, and local dishes were prepared by community chefs from ingredients that we provided. It was a very successful and exciting day for everyone."
During their visit, Bryce Basic School, also in Coleyville was given a facelift, courtesy of the Digicel, with the school receiving a mural in honour of local Jamaican folklores such as Anancy and cultural icon Ms Lou.
Digicel Jamaica has embarked on a series of Community Feel Good Family Fun Day across the island, with the first stop being Darliston, Westmoreland earlier this month.
Residents of each community visited will be treated to family activities such as domino tournaments, six-a-side football and cricket competitions, face-painting and other games for the children.
