Sep 04, 2012 Sports

Various cricket teams under the umbrella of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club hosted their annual Personal Development Programme on Thursday last at the Area ‘H’ Ground.
They are Farfan & Mendes Under-15, Bakewell Under-17 and Second Division, Pepsi Under-19, Gizmos & Gadgets Under-21 and First Division and the Metro females.
Items which included school supplies, hygiene kits and food were presented to the children of the missing fishermen Mahendra Ompertab and Kanhai Madramootoo of Rosignol, West Bank, Berbice. The teams also made a donation of office chairs to the Whim Police Station and a large volume of books and reading materials to Libraries based at Rose Hall Town and Port Mourant.
A press release from the club stated that the teams are mandated each year by Club Management to undertake at least three major projects that would make a difference in the lives of youths, the elderly and less fortunate.
Collectively, the teams host at least thirty (30) programmes each year since 2001 and Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster at the presentation ceremony complemented the players, describing them as true Ambassadors of the club and positive role models to their peers.
He expressed pleasure that the teams were able to assist the missing fishermen families by contributing towards the four children, while expressing hope that the men would be found safe and alive. Foster also committed the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club to assisting the children in the future until they have completed their educational career.
West Indies player Shemaine Campbelle and Captain of the Rose Hall Town Metro Female Team said that all the teams felt privileged to assist the families of the missing fishermen, the Guyana Police Force and the Libraries.
While informing that the members of Guyana’s leading Youth & Sports Club require discipline, commitment and willingness to serve others, Campbelle urged other cricket clubs and sport organisations to follow in the footsteps of her club and to make a difference in society.
She has committed all of her club mates, including West Indies players Assad Fudadin and Erva Giddings, National Under-19 Captain Shawn Pereira and National players Delbert Hicks and Rajiv Ivan, to continuing the programme.
Each of the recipients expressed gratitude to the Club for the assistance given. Wife of missing fisherman Kanhai Madramootoo tearfully thanked the Club and the teams for assisting her family at this very difficult time while wishing the team’s’ success on and off the field.
Each of the four children received supplies of educational items, including school bags, exercise books, hygiene kits and sanitary items, while both families received a supply of food items.
The Guyana Police Force received a donation of eight office chairs for the Officer in Charge of Whim Sub-District office, while the Rose Hall Town and Port Mourant Libraries received books valued at $80,000 each.
The cricket teams of the club are expressing profound gratitude to Imran Hamid, Bhirooj Poonai and Bobby’s Boutique of Rose Hall Town for their contribution to the programme.
