Kaieteur Sports – Port Mourant CC, a club that produced many world class cricketers in its heydays, such as Rohan Kanhai, Alvin Kallicharran, Joe Solomon, Basil Butcher, John Trim, and Mahendra Nagamootoo among many others, benefited from one set of white cricket uniforms with floppy hats, two boxes of balls and one bat stick from Naeem Kamal. Kamal presented the gear on behalf of his parents, former residents of Bloomfield Village, Corentyne, Berbice. The presentation was facilitated and organized by this noble initiative done jointly by Anil Beharry of Guyana and Kishan Das of the USA. The donation was initiated by USA based Guyanese, Derek Kallicharran, former West Indies “B” cricketer.

At a simple ceremony held recently, the tokens were handed over to Rampertab and Rampersaud Ramnauth, two brothers who are very talented in the presence of Jaipersaud Rawana, president of the club. Kamal expressed delight to be given the opportunity to contribute to this historic club and urge them to work hard to return the club to its former glory. Rawana expressed his gratitude and indicated that the under 17 team will benefit from the gear as the club continue to work hard to return it to where it rightfully belongs.
This project will continue to improve the lives of youths in every community. We are pleased to be part of the development of young cricketers in Guyana. Our aim is to keep them off the streets and get them actively involved in sports, cricket in particular.

Cricket related items, used or new, are distributed free of cost to young and promising cricketers in Guyana. Skills, discipline and education are important characteristics of the recipients. Talent spotting is being done across the country and club leaders also assist to identify same. Progressive and well managed cricket clubs with a youth program, will also benefit.

Distribution will continue. Anyone interested to contribute can contact Anil Beharry on 623 6875 or Kishan Das on 1 718 664 0896.
