The company is constructing dressing and wash room facilities at the Community ground as their contribution to upgrade and make the venue much more habitable.
According to the Public Relations Officer Ms. Darshanie Yussuf, the project which will be completed by this weekend will cost G$2.5 million dollars. She told Kaieteur sport that they will also be upgrading the ground shortly before they hand over same to the community next week.
It was noted that the company is pleased to assist in community development where sports can benefit all, especially, the youths.
“We at Ansa Mc al love sports and are pleased to assist in its development for it not only helps to keep the youngsters off the streets and away from crime and other illicit activities but it promotes healthy lifestyles; sports also unites people.”
Apart from the Beterverwagting community, the Mackenzie Sports Club ground in Linden also benefitted from Ansa Mc al when the entity resurfaced the football field earlier this year and built a dressing room at the Basketball Court, last year.
The Basketball Court has been named after Linden’s own, former National player James Brushe. Ms. Yussuf informed that both projects cost approximately G$6 Million dollars. She further stated that the Company will donate a brush cutter to the Mackenzie Sports Club during the coming week at which time they will also hand over the football field.
