ith uniforms but Texeira stated that they will be aiming to start a league for youth players from as early as age 5 in the not too distant future.
“We are very eager to have our youths involved in positive activity and to focus on their education as well. The focus would be on soccer, cricket, and circle tennis for the girls and whatever it is that will get the community back together as one. We are trying to keep them off of the streets.”
There is a lot more to come Texeira emphatically stated but noted that things must be done together.
The former footballer shared some words of wisdom to the young players of Agricola: “Unite, let’s come together as one. Try and stay away from the negative things that will hamper forward progress, let’s be positive and let people see what we have to offer. We have good players here, good boxers and I’m sure cricketers can come out of Agricola; we have a lot to offer, just let’s go out there and do it the right way.”
Club President Troy Jeffers thanked Texeira on behalf of the players and executives, promising that the items would be used for its intended purpose and he {Texeira} and Caribbeantube can look forward to the club doing well in the future.
Elder of the community Ms. Yvonne offered a stirring prayer before the start of the simple presentation asking God’s guidance on the young people of the village in their endeavors to be positive examples and role models.
Plans are in train for the club to engage the Co-op in the community that has responsibility for the playfield in an effort to make it playable for the members of the club and community.
Caribbeantube, founded by Texeira and a friend has a vision to let the rest of the world experience what the Caribbean is like and what’s going on.
“Caribbeantube is more of a Youtube, we want to bring the caribbean out to the rest of the world. Right now we have about 13,000 people daily logging on to the site to see what’s going on and we want the numbers to go up.
We also have www.facebook.com/GuyanaCaribbeantube where persons can also visit and like us and see what’s going on. We are also building a website for Agricola Red Triangle because we want persons to follow the progress of this club and to see how our young people are engaging in positive activities for their development.”
