Over the years, the club has been making an impact on youths through donations and educational campaigns.
According to Chairman of the alumni, Denis Carrington, the club was started with intentions of giving back to Guyana and to help boost the confidence of youths, especially young males.
He proclaimed his disappointment when he came back to Guyana for the Alumni’s 40th anniversary and saw that only a small fraction of the boys in the football team, were in school. This motivated him to push for literacy programmes and other educational initiatives.
Mr. Carrington yesterday presented the books and laptops to the library board.
