GAW continues to support DCC youth Camp
Manager of the Guyana Amazon Warriors, Omar Khan presented a 
cheque towards the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) Youth school vacation camp. The donation was made on behalf of the Guyana Amazon Warriors team and its owner, Mr. Bobby Ramroop of the Limacol and CPL Group.
This is the second consecutive year that the team has supported the summer camp. DCC players Christopher Barnwell and Paul Wintz represented the Amazon Warriors in this year’s CPL.
At the handing over ceremony, Khan encouraged the youths to make the best use of the camp and the opportunity it presents for them. The Trinidadian reminded them that they are personally responsible for their own success and the advancement of their cricketing career and that whatever they put in will determine whatever they get out of the game.
President of DCC, Alfred Mentore, accepted the donation on behalf of the Queenstown based Club and extended gratitude to Khan, the Amazon Warriors and Dr Bobby Ramroop for their continued support and commitment to the annual Camp.
The former National Youth batsman stressed the timeliness of this contribution which will come in very handy in offsetting cost and contributing to the success of this programme.
The Youth Camp is in its first week and programmes for the other two weeks include lectures on Umpiring, History of cricket, Public Speaking, Food & Diet along with Fitness and Health.
Mentore also encouraged the youngsters to make the best of the Cricket Camp, and emphasized that participating in sports is a good way of learning and encouraging personal discipline and responsible behavior amongst young people. He also emphasize the need for many more such camps which will foster the growth of the game, an important nursery for the young kids and an introduction phase where youths learn the basics and fundamentals of the game. The camp is being led by Coach Garvin Nedd, a former National off-spinner who is the most successful youth coach in Guyana. Nedd is being assisted by former West Indian batsman Travis Dowlin who has always given solid support to the club and its programmes.
