ANSA McAL joins hands with RHTY&SC/BCB for Youth Information Booklet

Longstanding sponsor of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC), ANSA McAL (Guy) Ltd has once again joined hands with Guyana’s leading Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) to make a positive difference.

The company is pumping $300,000 into the publication of 1000 copies of a Youth Information Booklet for youths in the Ancient County, especially those involved in Sports.
Club Secretary/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Hilbert Foster stated that the Booklet was a major part of the RHTY&SC’s highly-successful “Say No/Say Yes Campaign”.
The Club, via the programme, advises youths to say no to crime, suicide, drugs, alcohol, and tobacco and yes to education, life, sports, religion, and culture.
RHTY&SC is working along with the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) on the ANSA McAL-sponsored Booklet Project to make sure that thousands of youths playing the game of cricket are fully informed of the social ills they face and have the information to make correct decisions. The 40-page Booklet will be published at the F & H Printery in Georgetown and would provide information on 25 topics of importance to youths, including the Importance of Education, Importance of Discipline, HIV/AIDS, Suicide, Choosing Friends, Personal Hygiene, Public Manners, Role of a Sports Ambassador, Importance of Religion, Public Speaking, Peer Pressure, Drug Abuse, and Sports Etiquette.
The Booklet will also have important information for young cricketers so that they would understand their roles as role models and students of the game.
Foster, who is also the President of the BCB, hailed the publication of the Booklet as another major effort by the RHTY&SC to offer sports and education as a positive alternative to a life on the streets. He praised ANSA McAL for its support, describing it as a foundation of the successes of the Club over the years and hailed Brand Managers Errol Nelson, Gabriella Lopez, and Faris Mohamed for their cooperation. Foster disclosed that the Non-Alcoholic Section of ANSA McAL assisted the Club in successfully hosting its 29th Award Ceremony, and the two organisations would be working together in the future on other projects, including the 2019 Christmas Village. The Non-Alcoholic Section also renewed its sponsorship of the RHTY&SC’s Television Programme.
Brand Manager Nelson hailed the outstanding relationship between the Club and the company, as it continued to make a positive difference in the lives of others. ANSA McAL, he stated, was pleased to be associated with the RHTY&SC as it was well known for its good works.
He expressed confidence that the objectives of the Booklet would be achieved, adding that they looked forward to similar projects in the future. ANSA McAL, over the last two decades, has sponsored or co-sponsored numerous programmes for the Club, including the Annual Awards Ceremony, Annual Youth Review Magazine, Annual Cricket Academy, Christmas Village, charity programmes, Say No/Say Yes Campaign, the ANSA McAL Award of Excellence, Tribute to Outstanding Teachers and Mother of the Year Award.
