RHT Gizmos & Gadgets cricket team honours outstanding Teachers
Four outstanding Secondary School teachers from the Lower Corentyne area were honoured on Thursday last at the Port Mourant Secondary School by the Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets First Division team under the team’s inaugural Teachers Role Model Programme.
The Teachers who were selected from Port Mourant, Lower Corentyne, J.C Chandisingh and Corentyne Comprehensive Secondary Schools were recommended for the Awards by the Administrative Staff of their respective institutions.
Those recognised were Romesh Narain (Lower Corentyne), Nazia Hoosain (Corentyne Comprehensive), Nermala Sewdat (Port Mourant) and Toli Motie Sewnarain (J.C Chandisingh). The Awardees were presented with a collection of items including MP3, MP4 with camera, electric book readers and cardboard visual organisers from the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club and its official sponsor Gizmos & Gadgets.
Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster noted that the presentation was another historic milestone in the promotion of the ‘Say Yes To Education’ message which over the last 20 years has been promoted by the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club and its cricket teams.
Foster challenged the awardees to continue upholding the high tradition and standards they have set for themselves and students. The long serving Youth & Sports Administrator also urged the Teachers to always be positive Role Models and Mentors to every student they teach and to get them to understand the importance of education, discipline, personal manners and self respect. The experienced Secretary/CEO pointed out a habit among some young teachers who socializes with the students – stating that there must be physical space between Teacher and Student if respect is to be obtained.
Foster expressed gratitude to Mr. Ravi Mangar of Gizmos & Gadgets for sponsoring the Awards for the Programme.
The Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club also awarded six Teachers of the Port Mourant Secondary School for their hard work during the annual School Sports.

Head Teacher of the Port Mourant Secondary School and President of the Guyana Teachers’ Union described the Awards ceremony as unique and should be emulated throughout Guyana while congratulating both the Club and Gizmos & Gadgets for their investment in the Educational field.
Colin Bynoe challenged the Teachers to expand their efforts in both the classroom and the field of sports so that every child in Guyana can fulfill their true potential.
Senior Cricketer of the Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets cricket team Khemraj Mahadeo in handing over the items expressed pleasure on the team’ behalf noting that it was a pleasure for them to honour Teachers who have worked beyond the call of duty.
He stated that they would continue to be an agent of possible changes on and off the field by investing in the future of youths, the elderly and less fortunate. Mahadeo also congratulated Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club member Nermala Sewdat on her selection as a 2011 Teacher of the year Awardee.
Sewdat and Romesh Narain spoke on behalf of the Awardees and extended gratitude to the organisers for recognising the efforts of hard working individuals who have worked beyond the call of duty to achieve success.
Sewdat stated that one of the main reasons for her success in life to date is the fact that she is a member of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, an organisation which always encourages its membership to aim for the sky and only to excel. The total cost of the gifts and prizes shared out during the ceremony exceeded $225,000.
