The Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, Foster proudly states is the only sports organisation to assist others and disclosed that the Club on a weekly basis receives a minimum of twelve requests from across Guyana and does its best to assist every one of them. The Club, he stated strongly believes in assisting others as the more you give, the more you receive. He cautioned the recipients to make sure that the donations are used for the intended purposes.
