GFF/FFP donates footballs to Timehri Prisons
The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) in conjunction with Food For the Poor (Guy) (FFP) recently handed over a quantity of footballs to the Timehri Prisons for use by the inmates of that facility.
GFF General Secretary Noel Adonis (right) hands over one of the balls to Officer in Charge of the Timehri Prisons Mr. Carlton Cameron in the presence of MOL&HS Social Welfare Officer Ms. Carol Beresford.
The donation was consistent with the objectives articulated by both the Federation and FFP for the distribution of the footballs intended for disadvantaged groups and communities, all over Guyana, and for the development of the game.
Receiving the balls on behalf of the Timehri Prisons were Officer in Charge Mr. Carlton Cameron and Probation and Social Welfare Officer of the Ministry of Labour and Human Services, Ms. Carol Beresford.
The donation from the GFF and FFP was a direct result of a request from Ms. Beresford who in her professional capacity has responsibility for developing programmes to aid in the rehabilitation and social interaction of inmates and to prepare them for life after incarceration.
The football development is therefore seen as one component of a larger sports programme planned for the Timehri and other Prisons.
The Prison authorities were commended by Mr. Adonis for their initiative and progressive outlook in having the inmates involved in sport activities, and gave assurance of the GFF’s ongoing support for the programme, not only at Timehri, but also at other locations.
