RHTY&SC Patron’s Funds honours dozens of outstanding Mothers
Some of the Mothers after they received their food hampers.
The ten cricket teams of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, MS with support from Management and the Over-35 Group honoured dozens of Mothers as part of its 2018 Tribute to Mothers Programme. The programme was mainly sponsored by the Patron’s Fund, while friends of the RHTY&SC also supported. The Patron’s Fund is financed by an annual donation of $1M by the Club’s Patron His Excellency President David Granger.
The players and Over-35 Members provided a box of warm lunch to over 100 pensioners as they waited to uplift their monthly old age pension. The pensioners also received cold beverages, hot tea, fruits, while each mother present received a 1.5L box of milk. Four mothers selected via a raffle system carried home special Mothers Day gifts. The Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, MS on Saturday 12th May, 2018 distributed 80 food hampers to senior citizens and single parent mothers at a special Mother’s Day Programme at the Area ‘H’ Ground.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster in an emotional presentation stated that the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, MS was pleased to recognise the mothers as it was following the word of God to always honour your parents. A similar programme is scheduled for fathers next month. The Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club has been hosting the two programmes since 1991, one year after it was founded in 1990 by three times Guyana and Commonwealth Youth Service Awardee, the St. Francis Community Developers. Foster described mothers as God’s representatives on earth. He praised the mothers for being role models to their children and stressed the need for parents to guide children according to the teaching of the God they serve. Noting, that Satan and his evil world of crime, drugs, suicide and alcohol are destroying the fabric of today’s society, Foster in a passionate appeal urged the attentive mothers to encourage youths to Say Yes to Education, Life, Religion, Sports and Culture.
The long serving Secretary/CEO committed the RHTY&SC to working towards making Berbice a better place for all to live and urged the mothers to pray for the continued success of Guyana’s most dynamic NGO. Foster appealed to other Cricket Clubs, sporting organisations and national organisations to get involved in social work as it needs a collective effort to make Guyana better. The success of the RHTY&SC over the years, he stated is tied to its numerous outreach programmes as the Club strongly believes that the more you give, the more you receive. Special thanks were extended to President David Granger for his support, while the RHTY&SC would like to acknowledge the contribution of Noreen Gaskin of Sentinel Security, Poonai Bhiroog, Deonarine Balram, Ryan Tillack, Rana Persaud, Bakewell, Navin Raghoo, Devindra Narine, Candy Thomas Batson, St. Francis Community Developers and Mohindra Persaud of Nand Persaud Company.
