Dear Editor,
Guyana’s exceptional performances and achievements at the recently held Carifta Games in Curacao must be lauded. The team of young athletes has made us proud.
Likewise, Government must be commended for its unprecedented initiative of providing scholarships for the successful Carifta Games team. This augurs well for the future and can serve as an inspiration for up and coming athletes. It is hoped that these young people would not squander this opportunity, but would make full use of the scholarships while at the same time enhancing and furthering their athletic abilities. Maybe someday in the not too distant future these athletes will be in the Guyana contingent to a Commonwealth Games meet or ultimately the Olympics.
Congratulations and continued successes to the Carifta team and all who worked to ensure success. It is important for all to remember this is not the end but rather just the beginning.
