Sunburst boost for Karateka Nathalie Gibson -to compete at Caribbean C/ships
It is common knowledge that athletes leaving these shores for overseas competition have always found it difficult to raise funds to facilitate their ambitions of representing the Golden Arrowhead.
This however will not be the case with Karateka Ms. Nathalie Gibson who is destined to represent Guyana at the Caribbean Karate Diagaku set for Trinidad and Tobago, August 14-17, next.
Office Manager, Continental Group of Companies, Mr. Ravi Brignandan hands over the cheque to Ms. Nathalie Gibson in the presence of Mr. Percival Boyce (left) and Khemraj Dhanraj.
Continental Group of Companies through its Sunburst Orange Juice is making it possible for Gibson, a seasoned high performer for Guyana, to seek more glory for this nation in the Twin Island Republic.
At the company’s Industrial Site location earlier this week, Office Manager Mr. Ravi Brignandan handed over a cheque to Ms. Gibson that will cover her air fare to the championships which will see eight (8) countries participating.
Gibson, a member of the YMCA Dojo, disclosed that they are aiming to send at least 30-members to Trinidad.
Sunburst is no stranger to supporting sports in a sustained way, football, table tennis and motor racing are some of the disciplines that have been benefitting over the years. Brignandan wished Gibson the best, noting that Sunburst has always been backing her and will continue to do so.
Gibson extended gratitude to Mr. Brignandan, Mr. Rakesh Puri (Managing Director, Continental Group of Companies), Mr. Percival Boyce (Company Secretary) and Mr. Khemraj Dhanraj (Sales/Marketing) for their continued support.
