This donation, made last Saturday, October 29, in Queen Street, Tiger Bay in the presence of the team’s coach, Alpha Fletchman, team’s captain Afena Baptiste, and family members and supporters of the players, came at a time when the team were gearing up for their first game in the MVP Sports’ female futsal tournament.
Hack, who has always been at the forefront of similar initiatives, and who usually supports community engagements and youth development initiatives of the Guyana Police Force, mentioned that after attending the ‘Men on Mission Conference’ hosted by President Mohamed Irfaan Ali, he felt a need to fulfil his corporate obligation, and as such, he decided to start with the Tiger Bay community.

He added that he intends to have similar initiatives in vulnerable communities throughout the country, and plans to provide mentorship and guidance to the youths of those communities.
“My wish is to be able to play a meaningful role in their academic lives as well as sports, so that each of these youths could realise their full potential,” Hack has said.
Team captain Afena Baptiste expressed gratitude to Hack for the timely and much needed supplies, and noted that her teammates are surely appreciative of this kind gesture.
