The activity was attended by two of the three awardees, the Chairman and Executive of the Pele FC Alumni, President, Executive and senior players of Pele Football Club.

Alumni Chairman, Denis ‘Ivor’ Carrington who chaired the proceedings expressed gratitude to his colleagues in the USA who made the time for the past decade and more to make the trip to Guyana where they seek to empower the youth through different initiatives.

Carrington noted that they have been making a huge sacrifice to garner the necessary funds and invest in their time to give back to the land of their birth, something which they will continue to do.

Recognised for their sterling contributions towards the success of the Pele FC Alumni Educational Programme were Banks DIH and Mortimer Stewart for their unflinching and committed backing.

Ms. Dawn Braithwaite for her commitment and unwavering dedication to the programme over the years. Current Pele FC Captain, Shemroy Arthur was recognized for the quality leadership he has brought to the team which has seen them being crowned division one champions of the Georgetown Football League.

Arthur was unavoidably absent, and his award was received by his Vice-Captain, King Solomon Austin.

Meanwhile, some 120 students will be involved in the annual two-day Educational Programme slated to take place at the Marian Academy on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Several presenters will be sharing with the attendees who will be between the ages of 14-18. School supplies will be distributed to each participant at the end of the programme.

And the annual day of football which was scheduled for last Wednesday at the Ministry of Education Ground was rained out like many other activities. This event will now be held at the Farnum Ground this Thursday from 15:00hrs.

Three matches would be played beginning with an Under-13 clash between Pele and Vurlon Mills Academy followed by a senior clash between Pele and Camptown with the night capper being an under-19 showdown between Pele and Buxton Stars.

Buxton Stars won 3-1 in 2023, with Pele turning the tables last year by the lone goal of that encounter which makes this year’s clash a potentially mouth-watering showdown.
