Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, - Tuesday 22^nd December 2009: The Aides of the Grand Turk Hospital were given an early Christmas gift from Digicel when they were delivered handsets for Christmas.

The Geriatric Aides who serve the needs of the elderly of the TCI Community received a visit from Digicel Head of Marketing, Ava-Dayne Kerr who delivered the handsets for the staff, wishing them a happy holiday season and expressing appreciation for the service they provide to the elderly among us who cannot adequately care for themselves.

She went on to say, “Any gesture large or small goes a far way in showing appreciation for the work we do in caring for others.”
