Aug 29, 2010 Sports

Four students selected from the Port Mourant Junior High and Port Mourant Primary Schools received a collection of Educational and Sports equipment when the RHTY&SC Bakewell Under-17 and Second Division teams hosted the 3rd Annual Patricia Moniz Memorial Educational and Sports Trust Fund Awards at the Area ‘H’ Ground on Tuesday last.
The project is funded by Ms. Nadine Andrea Boodhoo of Canada in memory of her late mother Patricia Moniz.
The four students benefitting this year were Jameson Anderson, Crystal Pike, Reshmattie Ragbeer and Usher Crawford.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster, urged the four awardees to take advantage of the assistance they have received, to stay in school and to get involved in sports as it is an alternative from a life on the streets. Foster said that social ills are destroying youths across the nation, the veteran sports official challenged the youths to strive only for excellence.
Captain of the Bakewell Second Division team, Ravi Narine explained to the awardees how involvement in sports assisted him to become a disciplined person and kept him away from friends who wanted to lead him astray.
Education, Narine also stated is the key to success and also assists sportsmen and women to think on their own and develop faster.
Mrs. Bernadette King, representative of the sponsor stated that the family of the late, Patricia Moniz, was pleased to be associated with the RHTY&SC and to play a key role in the development of youths in the educational and sports sector.
Mrs. King urged the awardees to keep the spirit of the late, Patricia Moniz, alive by becoming great achievers and by being disciplined and respectful to others.
Twenty students from Rose Hall Town also received school bags as part of the Memorial Fund.
Twelve year-old, Jameson Anderson of the Port Mourant Junior High School speaking on behalf of the awardees expressed gratitude to the Moniz Family and the Club for investing in their future.
Anderson who is a promising Under-13 cricketer said that he is fully aware of the importance of education and sports in the lives of young people and he and his fellow awardees intend to be role models to all youths in Berbice.
