“You are one of the main reasons for the success of the
RHTY&SC over the years, you have been an inspiration to every member of Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation and as such we take the greatest pleasure to honour you with our highest Award.”
Those were the passionate words of Secretary/CEO of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club Hilbert Foster to Managing Director of the National Milling Company, Bert Sukhai on Friday last at the Company’s head Office in Agricola.
Sukhai, the long serving Managing Director, was being honoured for his support of the RHTY&SC for over fifteen years and became the twenty-third awardee of the prestigious Dolphin Award of Excellence.
Foster disclosed that the Dolphin Award is specially reserved for 30 outstanding Guyanese and friends of the RHTY&SC, who the Club views as positive role models and a strong supporter of its programmes. The RHTY&SC, Namilco and Sukhai have over the years enjoyed a highly successful relationship which Foster stated is one of the main reasons why the Club is widely regarded as Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation and the only one to ever receive a National Award from the Government of Guyana.
Namilco over the Years has supported the Club’s Annual Youth Review Magazine, Annual Cricket Academy, Mother of the Year Programme, Annual Summer Camp, Annual Award Ceremony, Annual Christmas Charity Programme and even sponsored a Berbice-wide range of cricket tournaments among numerous others.
Awardees of the Dolphin Award of Excellence are chosen by a special Committee co-headed by the experienced Foster and Vice President Mark Papannah. Once a nomination is recommended, the Executive Committee of the Club then has to give its approval. Among persons receiving the Award are President David Granger, Prime Minster Moses Nagamootoo, Minster of Public Health Volda Lawerence, Minster is Social Protection Amna Ally, Region Six Chairman David Armogan, Managing Director of Ansa Mcal Troy Cadogan, Former Patron Beverly Harper, Bakewell General Manager Ragin Ganga, Robert Selman of Guyana Beverage Company Ltd, Larry Wills of DDL, Director of Sports Christopher Jones, Mohindra Persaud CEO of Nand Persaud Co Ltd, Jimeel Davis and Kent Vincent of Food for the Poor, International Fashion Designer Sonia Noel, along with journalists Gregory Rambarran , Franklyn Wilson, Claude David, Avenash Ramzan and Sean Devers.
The Club also honoured Namilco for its support over the years by handing over a specially framed Certificate of Appreciation. A humbled Sukhai in accepting the Award expressed gratitude to the RHTY&SC for its recognition of him but stated that the company was pleased to be associated with the Club.
He encouraged the Club to uphold its high standard and noted that Namilco would continue to support in the future.
