The Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club and the ‘B’ Division of the Guyana Police Force would be teaming up once again to make a positive difference in the lives of families. The two organisations would construct a family Recreational Park as part of the 46th Anniversary celebrations of Rose Hall being granted the status of Township. The Park would be officially opened on Friday September 23rd.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster, who is spearheading the project informed that the playfield would include of a benab, slides, swings, see-saws, flower garden and tourist seats among other items. It would also be branded with messages of the organisations.
Plans for the Family Playfield received a massive boost when popular businessman Kris Jagdeo of Jagdeo Construction Firm and Mohindra Persaud of Nand Persaud Co. Ltd of No. 36 Village made financial contributions towards the construction of the slides, swings and seesaws.
Foster hailed the contribution of Jagdeo and Persaud and described them both as real friends of the RHTY&SC. Foster, disclosed that the objectives of the Family Recreational Park are to promote the importance of sports, to provide clean relaxation for children, to allow families to bond together, to promote social cohesion and to promote the Say No to Suicide, Drugs, Crime and Yes to Life, Sports and Education Message.
Construction of the Park would be undertaken by members of the RHTY&SC eight cricket teams and its Over-35 section. The Club and the Police Force on completion of the project would officially hand it over to the Rose Hall Town Council, which would then be responsible for its upkeep.
Foster expressed amazement at the amount of projects/programmes the club undertakes each year and expressed profound disappointment that other sports clubs were not playing any role in assisting less fortunate children.
He expressed gratitude to Kris Jagdeo Construction Firm and Nand Persaud Co. Ltd for their timely contribution and reassured them that the project would fulfill all of its objectives. Police Commander Ian Amsterdam explained that ‘B’ Division of the Guyana Police Force fully supports the project as it would play a major role in fostering stronger family bonds.
He joined Foster in expressing gratitude to the two donors for their contributions. The cricket teams involved in the construction of the Family Recreation Park are RHT Farfan and Mendes Under-15, Bakewell Under-17 and Second Division, Pepsi Under-19 and Intermediate, Metro Females and Gizmos & Gadgets Under-21 and First Division.
