Dr Khan, Former GABA president makes donation to Wakenaam community
Doctor Divina Khan and former President of the Georgetown Amateur Basketball Association, Raffel Chris Douglas donated two Basketball rings and a pair of balls recently to the Wakenaam community at a simple ceremony held in the boardroom of the Wakenaam Neighbourhood Democratic Council Office.
Dr. Khan, who currently works at the Wakenaam Cottage Hospital, said she is happy to contribute towards the development of sports on the island. Douglas stated that because of his passion for the game, he thinks that in every community a star is born. He said that he is honoured on behalf of the doctor to be part of this development and assured her as former president he will bring referees and coaches once every three months on the island to assist in the development of the sport and that he will organise a grand school tournament at the end of the year.
Douglas, who also promised to assist with the development of other sports in Wakenaam, especially volleyball, also said he was very appreciative of the gesture.
Chairman of the Wakenaam NDC Ahmad Zakir Khan, who received the equipment on behalf of the Wakenaam community, thanked Dr. Khan and Mr. Douglas for contributing meaningfully to the Wakenaam society and said it will go a far way towards the development of the sport on the island.
