Jul 16, 2014 Sports

The Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC) Anti-Suicide Programme which is run by the club’s cricket teams received a shot in the arm when one of the entity’s official sponsors, Gizmos and Gadgets presented a laptop computer to aid in the effectiveness of the programme.
The campaign to date has included TV programmes, posters, banners, lectures, counseling sessions and educational competitions including essays and public speaking.
Donations of educational and sports materials have also been made to numerous schools and sports organisations in an effort to get youths to Say No To Drugs and Suicide and Yes To Life and an Educational foundation.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster at the presentation ceremony hosted at the club’s Area ‘H’ Ground office, expressed gratitude to Mr. Ravi Mangar, CEO of Gizmos and Gadgets for his continued investment in the club and its various programmes.
Foster noted that out of their annual 200plus programmes and activities, the Anti-Suicide Programme was one of its most cherished as it was about saving lives and giving youths a second chance.
Under this programme over the past six months, the cricket teams have been able to make direct impact on over 3000 youths. Foster noted that the laptop would be used to prepare leaflets and magazines for counseling sessions.
Marketing Manager of Gizmos and Gadgets Ms. Divya Sievdarsan stated that her company was pleased to be associated with Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation and noted that the club has represented the company’s brand well over the years.
The Marketing Manager who is also the holder of the Miss Guyana India 2014 title stated that it was quite refreshing to note that cricketers could take time out of their careers to be involved in social work and to make a positive difference in the lives of their peers.
Gizmos and Gadgets which has been the official sponsor of the club’s First Division team since 2009, also co-sponsors numerous other programmes for the club including its annual magazine, awards ceremony, Christmas charity programme and pro-education campaign.
The eight teams: Rose Hall Town Farfan and Mendes Under-15, Bakewell Under-17 and Second Division, Pepsi Under-19 and Intermediate, Metro Female and Gizmos and Gadgets Under-21 and First Division teams had earlier in the year launched a massive Anti-Suicide campaign in response to the numerous suicide cases in the Ancient County.
Among the players currently representing the Rose Hall Town Gizmos and Gadgets first-division team are Assad Fudadin, Royston Crandon, Rajiv Ivan, Shemaine Campbell, Delbert Hicks, Clinton Pestano, Shawn Perriera, Jason Sinclair and Khemraj Mahadeo.
