Jun 06, 2016 Sports

The Guyana Oil Company, B Division of the Guyana Police Force and the eight cricket teams of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club have joined hands to launch a massive Traffic Education Campaign (TEC) for the Ancient County of Berbice.

GUYOIL Marketing Secretary Demaley Clarke hands over sponsorship cheque to RHTY&SC Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster in the presence of other Company Officials.

The teams – Rose Hall Town Farfan and Mendes Under-15, Bakewell Under-17 and Second Division, Pepsi Under-19 and Intermediate, Metro Females and Gizmos and Gadgets Under-21 and First Division teams are undertaking the historic campaign as part of their Personal Development Programme.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster noted that the main objectives of the TEC are to educate youths on road safety, to reduce deaths on the roads, to re-educate drivers on safe driving and to show that sportsmen and women can spearhead programmes to make a positive difference.
The programme would target all drivers in Berbice, every Secondary and Primary School and all users of public roads. The campaign would involve the publication of a 40 page traffic education booklet, traffic educational poster for every classroom in Berbice and stickers for vehicles promoting the Say No to Drunk Driving Message.
The historic campaign would also involve the publication of an educational brochure for drivers and the hosting of two separate essay competitions for Primary and Secondary School students. Foster disclosed that ‘B’ Division of the Guyana Police Force especially Traffic Chief Timothy Williams and Commander Ian Amsterdam would be working closely with the club and the teams to ensure the programme is a success.
Foster hailed the support that the Club has received from GUYOIL and made a special mention of Chairman Lance Carberry, acting General Manager Reggie Bhagwandin, Marketing Manager Eric Whaul and Ms Demaley Clarke of the Marketing Department for their cooperation in securing the $452,000 sponsorship deal.
He expressed full confidence that like every other programme the club its teams have undertaken, the Traffic Campaign would be a success. GUYOIL’s Marketing Manager Eric Whaul noted that the state owned company was privileged to be associated with the RHTY&SC. GUYOIL he said provides most of Guyana’s fuel for vehicles and as such was committed to making the country’s roads safer for all its users.
The Marketing Manager expressed his company’s confidence in the organising skills of the club to make the campaign successful noting that the company fully understands its role as a responsible public entity and would support programmes such as the TEC since it falls within its mandate.
Whaul also congratulated the RHTY&SC for the outstanding work it has been doing towards the development of Guyana.
