As reported by the Stabroek News: "A philanthropic US based Guyanese who won
$1.8 Million US dollars at the poker table has put some of his fortune to
good use. Real Estate operator Anand 'Victor' Ramdin, who does business out
of the Bronx, New York, won the sum at three recent poker tournaments. "Now,
he has put it to good use by donating US$100,000 to Guyana's First Lady
Varshnie Jagdeo to take thirteen children and four adults from Guyana for
heart treatment in Chenai, India as part of her Kid's First Fund 'Heart to
Heart Campaign' that is currently underway. ".The First Lady expressed
herself delighted to be the recipient of his largesse on behalf of the lucky
patients. ".The 'Heart to Heart' party leaves today for India complete with
Mr Ramdin, and they are expected to be there for about two weeks before
returning to Guyana and New York."
