He committed the RHTYSC and its different cricket teams to working beyond the call of duty to make a positive difference across the ancient county. He stated that the RHTYSC, MS is the only cricket club in Guyana and perhaps the Caribbean, where members are mandated to make a positive difference in the lives of others under a wide range of community projects. He expressed thanks to the management of the popular television station for been a long time supporter of Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation.
The teams also distributed hundreds of food hampers to single and elderly mothers under the Jessica Sandian Mothers Day Programme.
