Planned activities for the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club (RHTY&SC)
Silver Jubilee Anniversary continues to receive widespread support from the business sector, Government Agencies and non-Governmental Agencies.
On Thursday last, the club received $100,000 from the Office of the Prime Minister, $50,000 from the Guyana Oil Company, $20,000 from the Guyana Gold & Diamond Miners Association and an undisclosed amount from the Law Firm of Cameron & Shepherd.
Former national cricketer Sheik Mohamed of the Enmore based Tiger Sports Shop donated a quantity of cricket balls and trophies. Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster who is spearheading the Silver Jubilee yearlong celebrations stated that the club intends to make the year 2015 a memorable one in the annals of the Club’s history.
Special emphasis is being placed on sports, pro-education and anti-drugs/suicide activities, honours/awards, community development and youth development programmes. Foster disclosed that the financial contributions would be used to assist less fortunate students with educational materials, purchase of cricket gear for the club’s massive cricket development programme and its charity outreach programme for less fortunate families.
The main aim of the cricket development programme is to identify and nurture the next generation of players for the club as it strives to maintain its status as one of Guyana’s top cricketing clubs.
The energetic Secretary/CEO expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Samuel Hinds for his assistance while describing Hinds as a friend of the club since he has been offering assistance over the last two decades.
Gratitude was also extended to Mr. Patrick Harding of the GGDMA, Mr. Abdool Kadir of Guyoil, Mr. Ralph Ramkarran of Cameron & Shepherd and Mr. Sheik Mohamed of Tiger Sports.
Foster assured the donors that the contributions would be used for its intended purpose while stating that the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club would continue to uphold its very high standards and principles of success, honesty, hard work, dedication and striving to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
