The ten cricket teams of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, MS on Tuesday last, continued to attract support from corporate Guyana. The donations were received by Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster and Vice President Mark Papannah during a visit to Georgetown. The ten cricket teams – Poonai Pharmacy Under 12 and Under 13, Farfan and Mendes Ltd Under 15, Bakewell Under 17 and Second Division, Pepsi Under 19 and Intermediate, Namilco Thunderbolt Under 21 and First Division and Metro Female would be hosting a series of charity projects under their annual Christmas Outreach programme.
Overseas based honorary member Dr. Tulsi Dyal Singh contributed $100,000 worth of Christmas toys, while assistance was also received from Mr. A.M. Khan of AM Khan Hardware Store located at LBI, Mr. Ronald Williams of Apex Insurance Broker, Ms. Dione Lewis of the Gift Centre, John Lewis of John Lewis Styles and Jamie McDonald of Fitness Express.

Foster expressed gratitude to the donors and stated that they are all long time supporters of Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation. Mr. McDonald noted that for the year, his business had closed off all donations to organisations due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic but the RHTYSC is one organisation that deserves to be assisted. Mr. A.M. Khan hailed the club and its ten cricket teams for their outstanding contributions to society especially making a positive difference in the lives of the elderly and less fortunate. He committed to continuing the support as long as he enjoys good health in the future.
The 2020 Christmas Programme of the ten teams would officially start tomorrow, Monday 7th of December, with the distribution of hampers to less fortunate families. A total of one thousand food hampers valued at $4,000 each would distributed across Berbice to less fortunate families. The families were identified by a Special Committee of the club, who visited different communities. The teams would also share out five thousand Christmas toys to children drawn from less fortunate and single parent households. The club would donate the toys to religious places of worship across the county and they would share them out to children in their areas. Among the other projects planned are donations to orphanages, distribution of special Christmas packages to senior citizens and Christmas breakfast to five hundred senior citizens in the Lower Corentyne area. Distribution of educational material, clothing and footwear would also be done in what Foster described as the largest Christmas programme ever organised by the club, since it was started in 1990.
