The Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, MS on Friday last provided bicycles to twenty youths as part of an effort to assist them to stay in school and obtain an educational background.

President Granger, the long serving Secretary/CEO stated, has been a remarkable and inspirational Honorary Patron to every member of Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation and as such the Club is delighted to assist youths to fulfill their potential in sports and the classroom. The Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club main objective, Foster stated, is to make God’s World a better place for youths, the elderly and less fortunate to live in.
Assistant Secretary Simon Naidu stated that the donation was made possible by VNET Communication, who contributed most of the funds, while the teams also assisted financially. He urged the students to cherish the donation and to use them for the intended purpose, which is to attend school. The students, drawn mainly from Rose Hall Town, Port Mourant, Hampshire and Williamsburg, expressed gratitude to the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, VNET Communication and all expressed 73rd Birthday greetings to the President. CEO of VNET Communication Sharaf Sherrifudeen stated that his Company was pleased to be associated with the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, its cricket teams and most importantly to assist youths to get to school.
Most of the students were selected by the Cricket Coaches of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club after attending the Club’s 28th Annual Cricket Academy, while the others were nominated by schools in the Township. The Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club Cricket Teams would next distribute cricket bats to Under-15 Cricketers based on recommendations from Clubs around Berbice.
