Kaieteur News – The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has appointed a Scholarship Committee styled the “GUYANA Football Scholarship Committee” that will be responsible for the formulation of the GFF scholarship programme.
The five-member committee, whose mandate will be for one year, is an Ad hoc one in accordance with Article 56 of the GFF Constitution and consists of Mr. Olato Sam, who is the Chairman, Mr. Rawle Small, Mr. Henry Chase, Ms. Lavern Fraser and Ms. Charissa Rampersaud.
In an invited comment, President Forde remarked: “As leaders, we have a moral obligation to create life changing opportunities for the young Boys and Girls, who passionately dedicate their lives to football. It is our duty to ensure that each player has equal and fair access to the boundless opportunities of their football experience and are inspired to model the qualities of good discipline, dedication and hard work.
A solid education is a lifetime gift and I am confident that many of our players will follow in the footsteps of those who have benefitted from scholarship opportunities and have gone on the lead productive lives, while contributing to the greater good of the Guyanese society.”
Chairman Sam also commented: “This Committee is extremely honoured to be given the opportunity to serve the youths of Guyana in this capacity.
