Aug 29, 2010 Sports

The seven cricket teams of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports (RHTY&SC) on Wednesday last started the distribution of $150,000 worth of school bags to members of the club and less fortunate students in the Lower Corentyne Area.
The members of the Farfan and Mendes Under-15, Bakewell Under-17 and Second Division, Pepsi Under-19, Gizmos and Gadgets Under-23 and First Division and Metro Female Cricket teams organised the project as part of their personal development programme under which they are mandated by the club to make a positive difference in the lives of their peers.
Assistant Secretary/CEO of the club, Franklyn Ross, hailed the teams for working overtime to make the distribution of the school bags project a success. He challenged the young cricketers to expand their pro-education drive so that they can be able to reach less fortunate students.
Ross posited that the club would not accept in its membership any young person who does not have an interest in having a sound educational foundation stating that education and sports go hand in hand.
Secretary/CEO, Hilbert Foster informed that the distribution of the school bags worth was the cricket team’s contribution to the RHTY&SC 20th anniversary celebrations and praised the cricketers as positive role models who are assisting others to achieve their dreams.
Foster disclosed that over the last six years, the cricket team has undertaken 120 projects under their Personal Development Programme at the cost of $7M.
Vice captain of the RHT Pepsi Team, Loyden Lewis, speaking to his club mates and other youths urged them to stay in school and to strive always for excellence. Education, Lewis stated, is the only proven pathway to a successful future if it goes along with discipline and praised the management of the club for inspiring members to assist others.
Lewis expressed gratitude to Peter Lewis, Poonai Bhirooj, Bobby Prashad and Nadine Boodhoo for their contribution to the programme.
The players also donated a dozen school bags to the Berbice Cricket Board for distribution to less fortunate cricketers in the Ancient Country.
