Port of Spain, Trinidad, 21 December 2020 â Covid-19 may have stopped face-to-face activities, including annual Christmas parties for children in need. Those events, although short-lived, bring smiles and laughter. But CIBC FirstCaribbean found a way to assist one group to spread the Christmas cheer. The donation, made through the bankâs ComTrust fund, was presented to the Gift for Life Foundation.
âThis allocation will help with more meaningful efforts. Christmas will come and go but ensuring that these children can manage as we plod through this pandemic is more important,â said Anthony Seeraj, managing director of the Trinidad Operating Company, CIBC FirstCaribbean.
