Members of the Essequibo T20 Bash Cricket Committee donated a large quantity of food hampers in Region Two on Sunday as part of its COVID-19 Pandemic outreach.

The Committee, which has 24 cricket teams across the Region, distributed the hampers from Charity to Supernaam.
“I must extend my gratitude to all the donors both in Essequibo and overseas; we target around 100 people, mostly mothers and widows and they were also happy to be the recipient at this time,” Simon reacted. He further informed that several young cricketers were also beneficiaries because of financial difficulties.
Since COVID-19 began spreading rapidly across the world few months ago, several individuals and sporting organizations in Essequibo and across Guyana have shown their response as well reaching out to people who have lost their jobs or unable to get employed.
Simon mentioned that his committee members took time off on the aforementioned day since it was Mother’s Day to assist with the distributions.
