Jadeshwar Doolchand has been elected President of the Demerara Volleyball Association (DVA) for the next two years when that entity held its Annual General Meeting on Saturday last.
Despite the heavy downpour that left many sections of the City under water, members of the volleyball community were determined that the business of the sport must go on, thus they converged at the Guyana Defence Force Coast Guard Base, Ruimveldt, Georgetown and to elect a new body.
