The Late veteran cricketer from No.19 Kendall’s Union honored posthumously
Kaieteur News – Pertab Chanderjit popularly called Uncle Muntuk, formerly of No.19 Kendall’s Union, (now deceased) was honored by Krishna Appiah on behalf of himself and the Appiah family. Chanderjit played cricket for many decades and helped nurture many cricketers in and out of the area, providing leadership and being a great role model on and off the field. He was considered a mystery off-spin bowler who could have held his own with the bat. He was a fierce yet friendly competitor.
Krishna Appiah hands over the plaque to Varone Chanderjit.
At a simple ceremony held recently in Queens, NY, Appiah presented a plaque to his wife Varone in the presence of his daughter Lita, her husband and sons Indranauth and Deo.
Mukesh continues the tradition of his late father Ramnarine Appiah also known as Brother Appiah, in giving back to his place of birth through sports, honoring outstanding sons and daughters of the area and providing support for the school children of Bohemia Primary School. In addition, he annually provides hampers and tokens for the elderly and persons with disabilities in the No.19 straight road area.
