Communications and according to CEO of V-Net, Safraz Sheriffudeen his Company has been sponsoring Paul since he first saw him in Wakenaam where Sheriffudeen hails from.
Kemo was born on February 21, 1998 to David Paul and Rita Hendricks and grew up in the beach Community of Saxacally in the Essequibo River where he became interested in cricket as a three year-old.
“I was playing cricket for as long as I can remember but I never played hard ball cricket in Saxacally. I remember my father bowling to me and at age seven I was in the senior Saxacally softball team,” Kemo informed.
His family (he has three sisters and two brothers) migrated to the Essequibo Island of Wakenaam when he was 11 and is a student at the Essequibo Islands Secondary.
Paul has played for Guyana from U-15 to U-19 levels and was the Vice-Captain of the West Indies who beat India in the last U-19 World Cup Final. He made his First-Class debut for the Guyana Jaguars in Trinidad this year and is a member the year’s Amazon Warriors team which will compete in the CPL.
The naming of Paul as Brand Ambassador was done at company’s head office in Delph Street Campbellsville on Friday.
Sheriffuden said his company had made a commitment to Paul many years now to always assist him to develop his game both on and off the field. “It’s an honour to have Keemo as brand ambassador of V-Net.”
“After making his First Class debut, we thought it best to add some more exposure to him by making him the brand ambassador of V-Net where he will be responsible with promoting the image of the company in a positive way, which will help him to develop his character off the field,” Sheriffudeen said.
V-Net provides satellite internet to remote communities in Guyana and offers a satellite phone service as well and their new brand ambassador will among other duties proudly promote and market the company’s products and services.
In response, the 19 year old Essequibo cricketer said he was overwhelmed to be chosen as brand ambassador of V-Net Communications. He thanked the company for the support over the years and said “the bond we share makes us like family.” He said through work and dedication anything is possible since he never dreamed while growing up in Saxacalli that he will be a brand ambassador.
Paul pledged to represent the company to the best of his ability and to be a good role model for the youngsters through continued hard work. (Sean Devers)
