Aug 12, 2016 Sports

The Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, MS Pepsi Under-19 team under the guidance of Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster on Tuesday last handed over a large quantity of items to the family of late Guyana Junior Umpire, Guyanand Sukdeo who died recently at the age of 41 years. He was an outstanding umpire and a member of the Guyana Cricket Umpires Council. The donation which included clothing, educational materials and groceries was done under the Pepsi Under-19 team, Community Outreach Programme for 2016.
RHTYSC, MS Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster stated that the Pepsi Under-19 team was willing to assist the fallen cricket umpire’s family out of respect for his contribution to the game. Foster noted that the team was delighted to assist the umpire’s two young children to complete their education as they strongly view that an educated mind is the Key to Success. He wished the family God’s greatest blessings and stated that the RHTYSC has committed itself to assisting the two children until they complete secondary school. Foster urged the children to develop a culture of honesty, hard work, discipline and dedication. He advised them to stay in school, to always Say No to Drugs, Suicide, Crime and to work overtime to make their late father proud of them. The experienced Secretary/CEO also urged them to be careful about choosing their friends carefully as false friends can easily lead them astray.
President of the Guyana Cricket Umpires Council, Dhieranidranauth Somwaru, who received the donation on behalf of the council and the late umpire’s family, stated that he approached the Club Secretary/CEO with a request to assist the family and he readily agreed. Somwaru expressed gratitude to the Pepsi Under-19 Team for their assistance and stated that the RHTYSC, MS was a compassionate organisation whose mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Somwaru urged other cricketing associations and Clubs to follow in the footsteps of the RHTYSC, MS and assist the young children of Umpire Sukdeo to overcome the sudden passing of their father.
Sixteen years old Simon Naidu of the Pepsi Under-19 Team stated that he and his colleagues were pleased to be of assistance and would continue to work hard to make a positive difference in the lives of others. The team is led by former national players Kevin Sinclair, Slyus Tyndall, Junior Sinclair, Kevon Anderson and Plaffina Millington.
