Kaieteur News – The eleven cricket teams of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club continue to make a positive impact in the lives of others in the county of Berbice. The teams under the supervision of Asst Secretary/CEO Simon Naidu raised and distributed one thousand kites under their “Lets Fly High at Easter” programme for 2021. The programme is the brainchild of the twenty years old Naidu and its main objective is to provide a kite to children, whose parents cannot afford to purchase one for them.
RHTYSC Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster hailed the hard work of Naidu and members of the club over the last two weeks that resulted in them obtaining the kites for distribution. The kites were distributed across the county and a total of two hundred and sixty kites were also donated to the We Care Foundation from Tuschen, Essequibo. Donations were also handed over to the Black Bush Polder, Corriverton and Port Mourant Roman Catholic parishes.
The teams also gave kites to the Rose Hall Town Police Outpost, Upper Corentyne Cricket Association, Berbice Cricket Board, Deeper Life Ministries Church among others, while the teams would also be sharing out kites to less fortunate children.
Naidu, explained that each year, the RHTYSC,MS management mandates the teams to undertake a wide range of activities under the sub headings of health, sports, education, community development, youth development, religion, culture, anti drugs, anti crime and anti suicide. Additionally, each member is expected to be a positive role model to their peers. The teams also donated a water dispenser, a solar light and some special gifts to the St Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church on Saturday last as part of their Say Yes to Religion programme. The Church Youth Club in 1990 had played a major role in the formation of the club, which has since gone on to become Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation.
The teams of the RHTYSC are Poonai Under 12 and 13, Farfan and Mendes Under 15, Bakewell Under 17 and Second Division. Pepsi under 19 and Intermediate, Vitality Under 23, Metro Females, NAMILCO under 21 and First Division.
The teams would like to extend thanks to the following donors for making the donations possible – Mr. Rickey Itwaru, Mr. Arjune Nandu, Kumar Joseph, Therbhuwan Jagdeo, Kevin Ramnarain, Surendra Ramcharitar, Doorsammy Mahadeo, Mahendra Gopilall, Chanderpaul Govindhan, Surendra Kissoonlall, Christopher Deroop, Shawn Pereira, Sunil Marimoothoo, Ryan Tillakram, Mr. Prettipaul, Rabindranauth Kissoonlall, Kris Baromasi, Randolph Lewis and Shimron Hetmeyer.
