Global Health Services of Alberttown, Georgetown and
the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club’s cricket teams have teamed up to assist schools in Berbice with trophies, prizes and medals for their graduation ceremonies.
They also assisted the New Amsterdam Secondary in honouring a Retired Teacher and another five Outstanding Teachers for service of the highest standards.
The eight cricket teams donated over $100,000 worth of trophies, medals and hampers to several schools in the Lower Corentyne and Central Corentyne areas.
The schools are Rose Hall Town Primary, Rose Hall Town Nursery, Tain Primary, Port Mourant Primary and Fyrish Nursery.
The Club also hosted the Global Health Services Tribute to Outstanding Teachers Programme at the New Amsterdam Secondary.
The five teachers honoured for outstanding performances during the last year were Tameshwar Mohabir, Roseann Williams, Nasrudeen Ally, Lucieann Lagadaau and Erica Hooper.
Outstanding educator Leon Hooper was also recognised on his retirement after serving over 31 years.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster stated that the club was quite passionate about making sure that every child in Berbice fulfils his/her potential in school and sports.
The club and teams along with the active Educational Committee as part of this effort, regularly assists schools, NGO’s and sports organisations to fulfil their respective mandates.
Foster expressed disappointment that no other sports organisation in Guyana especially cricket clubs is following the RHTYSC and its teams’ example of serving others that are not members of their entity.
He expressed gratitude to Mr. Deonarine Etwaru of Global Health Services for his assistance towards the RHTY&SC’s Say Yes to Education Campaign. Representatives of the schools expressed gratitude to the club and teams for their assistance.
The teachers also congratulated the club on its achievements over the years and on becoming the first youth and sports organisation to receive a National Award.
