“This all forms part of the Pele FC Alumni Corporation’s mantra of giving back to our nation. Well over one thousand children have benefitted from this investment over the years, and we will continue to make this a priority.”
Barton shared that this year again, many of the members from the USA will be back here to support the programme which will also see two football matches being played on Saturday April 4th at the Police Sports Club Ground, Eve Leary.
Buxton Stars and Pele FC will clash in an Under-15 match from 16:00hrs with the Guyana Police Force and Pele FC facing off in a senior encounter to cap the night off.
Barton stated, “Football is the sport that made us who we are, affording many of us the opportunity to study in the USA and here we are today. We want to let our valued young people know that with discipline, commitment and the will to achieve, they too can emulate and even do better than us.”
Fellow Executive Member, Eric ‘Riggy’ Smith echoed Barton’s sentiments and informed that a solid foundation educationally is need regardless of which sport you play and the Pele FC Alumni is committed to playing their part in supporting this as much as they can.

“This year we have included the following areas that would be featured during the two day educational seminar, dental hygiene, mental health/suicide, healthcare, social etiquette, self-esteem, banking/finance, reading importance and aviation.”
Smith noted that the sessions are always interactive and the presenters will be making it as exciting as possible for the attendees who have had to pre-register. Each student would also be receiving educational supplies whilst there is the much-anticipated spontaneous giveaways of electronic gadgets to those who are attentive and answer questions when posed by presenters.
