Kaieteur News – The ten cricket teams of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club have joined hands with the Berbice Cricket Board to launch another project as the two vibrant organisations continue their Covid 19 response project. The two organisations since the start of April has operated a joint project to assist those affected by the pandemic and to educate Berbicians about the deadly virus that has killed over a million persons worldwide. The latest venture was the publication of a eleven by seventeen inches colored educational poster.
RHTYSC Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster stated that the posters, which were printed at the F and H Printery in Georgetown, was solely sponsored by the ten cricket teams of the club – Farfan and Mendes under 15, Poonai Pharmacy under 12 and under 13, Bakewell under 17 and second division, Pepsi Under 19 and Intermediate, Metro Females, Namilco Thunder Bolt under 21 and First Division teams.
The posters would be distributed across the county free of cost with special emphasis placed on Schools, Police Stations, Fire Stations, Public Markets, Super Markets and Cricket Grounds among others. The poster seeks to educate the general public about the main ways to protect themselves from the virus and features the images of four of the RHTYSC most promising players and the club’s two youth ambassadors. They are Jonathan Rampersaud, Mahendra Gopilall, Jermeny Sandia, Kevin Ramnarine, Marissa Foster and Denica Henry.
Among the recommend guidelines on the posters are social distancing, wearing a face mask in public, sanitizing hands regularly and avoiding sick persons with the virus.
Foster stated that, together the BCB and RHTYSC have distributed over six thousand food hampers across the entire county along with two million dollars worth of chicken products, face masks, clothing and cleaning items since April.
