Anamayah Memorial sponsors RHTY&SC, MS awards ceremony

Plans for the successful hosting of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, M.S 27th annual awards ceremony received a major boost on Friday last when the Anamayah Memorial Hospital came on board as an official sponsor.

The Belvedere based private Hospital has agreed to sponsor the Club’s Annual tribute to retired teachers and tribute to outstanding law enforcement officers programmes. The RHTY&SC, M.S annual award ceremony would be held on April 23 at the St. Francis Community Developers Training Centre and a total of 74 outstanding Club members, retired teachers, law enforcement officers and

teachers of the year would be honoured.

Secretary/CEO of the RHTY&SC, Hilbert Foster who along with Vice President Mark Papannah and Assistant Secretary Simon Naidu, who are spearheading the plan for the awards ceremony, stated that a total of seven retired teachers and seven law enforcement officers would be honoured.

Originally, the plan was to honour four retired Teachers but it was increased to seven due to the large amount of nominees. The Ministry of Education Region 6 Department selected four names while the RHTY&SC members nominated the other three.

The seven awardees have a combined total of over 210 years of service to the educational sector in Guyana. The outstanding law enforcement officers were selected by the ‘B’ Division of the Guyana Police Force based on their individual performance to make Guyana a safe place for all its citizens. Foster, the long standing Secretary/CEO of Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation stated that the 2017 award ceremony would be the largest ever hosted by the RHTY&SC.

Another of the main highlight would be the awarding of the club’s highest award, the Dolphin Award of Excellence to seventeen outstanding Guyanese. Club Patron, President David Granger would deliver the feature address and assist in the distribution of prizes.

Foster expressed gratitude to the management of the hospital for readily agreeing to sponsor the two sets of awards and praised the entity as a true and faithful friend of the RHTY&SC, M.S and its eight cricket teams.

Dr. Ryan Anamayah, administrator of the hospital noted that he was pleased to work along with the club to honour heroes in the educational and security sectors. He praised the outstanding work of the club and expressed confidence that the Award Ceremony would be a huge success.

Each of the fourteen awardees would receive a framed certificate, trophy, medal and a collection of gifts. They would also benefit from a range of medical tests at the Hospital at a much reduced rate than normal.
