Kaieteur News – The Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) held a simple but significant ceremony yesterday afternoon at their headquarters in Lilliendaal where they made donations in the form of Covid-19 relief to assist some sports associations as activities resume.
The proceeding was attended by the head of the GOA; K.A. Juman-Yassin, head of the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) Steve Ninvalle, Guyana Amateur Body Building and Fitness Federation (GABBFF); Keavon Bess, Weightlifting Federation representative Tyson English, Guyana Cycling Federation’s (GCF) Linden Dowrich, Levi Nedd of the Guyana Volleyball Association (GVG) and Amanda Hermonstine; Vice-president of the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG).
The five represented sports associations each received a cheque of $50,000, sanitising liquid and infrared thermometers.
Juman-Yassin during brief remarks noted that, “Since March our sporting activities had been curtailed and now the Ministry of Health and the National Covid-19 task force has lifted the restriction. We at the GOA are cognisant of this and we have decided to help the associations so they can recommence activities in the proper manner.”
Meanwhile, Hermonstine, on behalf of the AAG, expressed heartfelt gratitude for the timely contribution especially since the track and field body will be hosting the 18th South American 10k road race this Sunday from the village of Mary on the East Bank of Essequibo and concluding at the National Track and Field Center (NTFC).
Boxing boss; Ninvalle, like Hermonstine, highlighted his association’s thanks for the GOA’s assistance which will be handy since gyms have opened and boxers are back at training.
