An appeal to Kashif and Shanghai

Dec 15, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,
Evidently, the positive impact that the annual Kashif and Shanghai football tournament has had in Guyana is quite resounding. This mega sporting event has not only captivated the local fraternity but has had its appeal as well to Regional and International audience also.
Quite fittingly, it has been blessed by no other that the legendary and incomparable King Pele. It is no secret, therefore, that the largest county in Guyana, Essequibo, is starved and yet yearned for the opportunity to experience this wonderful spectacle.
Since the government has been quite admirably supporting this tournament, I am quite sure then that the Regional Administration of Region Two will facilitate in having such an event staged in Essequibo and that the Anna Regina Community Centre Ground can be made readily available and with the requisite accompanying facilities.
I am also very confident that Corporate Essequibo and civic and sporting enthusiast will be eager to be associated with this wonderful sport, despite the dormancy of the Essequibo Football Association.
I am therefore desperately appealing on behalf of the subdued residents of the Essequibo Coast for the Kashif and Shanghai Organisation to enlist this county as part of its calendar of events for the 2011 display, since its presence here will do wonders for the re establishment of active football on the Essequibo Coast.
