Emmanuel Lewis benefits once more from “Cricket gear for young and promising cricketers in Guyana”
Emmanuel Lewis
Kaieteur Sports – Sixteen years old national junior allrounder Emmanuel Lewis, once again benefits from this noble initiative done jointly by Anil Beharry of Guyana and Kishan Das of the USA, the Cricket gear for young and promising cricketers in Guyana. He was the recipient of one brand new cricket gear bag which was purchased with funds from this project.
The prolific young batsman, who also bowls medium pace and leg spin, recently participated in the prestigious annual Garfield Sobers tournament in Barbados with great success. Lewis is set to represent his country in the 2025 Regional under17 tournament to be held in Trinidad later this month.
He is student of Carmel Secondary School and represents Transport Sports Club at all levels.
At a simple ceremony held recently, Lewis promised to work hard on his game and do Guyana proud. He has the distinction of scoring a double hundred at the Inter Association level.
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.
Total cricket related items received/purchased so far: $730,000 in cash, along with cricket clothing and gear. In addition, gear with value of over $600,000 was donated by Sheik Mohamed, former National wicket keeper/batsman. All cash collected is being used to purchase cricket gear requested and not available at the time.
To date, ninety-nine players, male and female, from all three counties of Guyana have benefited directly from cash and gear donations. Several area committees including Pomeroon, Leguan and Wakenaam Cricket Committees and Clubs have also benefitted.
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 programme, will also benefit.
The success of this initiative was made possible through the support of number of individuals and companies in Guyana and the United States.
Distribution will continue.
Anyone interested to contribute can contact Anil Beharry on 623 6875 or Kishan Das on 1 718 664 0896.
