RHT Police Outpost benefits from RHT Pepsi U-19 Team and ‘B’ Division Police
RHTY&SC’s Hilbert Foster hands over one of the items to Assistant Superintendent Terrence Browne in the presence of others.
The Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club Pepsi Under-19 team and the Community Outreach Department of the Guyana Police Force ‘B’ Division on Friday presented a number of items to the Rose Hall Town Police Outpost.
The donation of one (1) bicycle, a rechargeable lamp and a clock was done under the two organizations’ joint “Say NO to Drugs/Crime/Suicide and YES to Sports/Education” programme which was launched in response to the rapid use of drugs and the rise of criminal activities in the Ancient County.
Secretary/CEO of the club, Hilbert Foster, in handing over the items stated that the club and the police met residents of the township during the month of August and several requests were made as part of efforts to improve the performance of members of the outpost.
The items were purchased with proceeds from a fundraising corn house which was a joint initiative of the two entities.
Meanwhile, over a hundred (100) less fortunate students would shortly receive footwear and school materials to attend school. Foster urged the management of the outpost to use the items for its intended purpose; he committed the Pepsi Under-19 team to providing another bicycle to the outpost, along with more needed items.
The RHTY&SC he proudly stated is the only sports organization in the entire Caribbean which gets its different cricket teams to undertake projects aimed at making a positive difference in the lives of youths, elderly and the less fortunate.
GPF’s Assistant Superintendent Terrence Browne and Corporal Caesar both expressed gratitude to the Pepsi U-19 team and the Police Community Outreach Department for the timely donation. Browne stated that he enjoys working with the RHTY&SC, an entity that is action oriented and a strong believer in making a difference.
In the coming weeks, the two organizations would be unveiling plans for several sports competitions (volleyball, basketball, football, female cricket) and for the construction of a Recreational Park for families in Rose Hall Town.
