Educational journey to Suriname gets boost from GPF Officers’ cricket team

In a recent social media post by the Guyana Police Force (GPF), the organisation highlighted the efforts of its Officers’ cricket team in supporting youth development and education.
On Thursday, March 19, 2026, the Officers’ cricket team welcomed sixth-form students from Mackenzie High School at the Eve Leary Police Office. The students, along with twelve teachers, received jerseys and other supplies to support their upcoming educational trip to Suriname.

The initiative, spearheaded by the team’s captain, Deputy Commissioner (Administration) Mr Ravindradat Budhram, reflects the Force’s commitment to fostering learning opportunities outside the classroom. The 31 students are CAPE candidates studying legal studies, sociology, Caribbean studies, and communication studies.
According to the social media post, the seven-day trip to Suriname is designed to enhance the students’ academic experience through regional exposure, practical learning opportunities, and insights relevant to their coursework, while also promoting cultural awareness.
The GPF Officers’ Cricket Team emphasised that supporting such educational initiatives aligns with the Force’s broader mission of contributing to national development through education.

Earlier in the week, Mr Budhram, who also serves as Chairman of Guyana Police Cricket, supported the Region Three Police cricket team with cricket gear on Wednesday morning, March 19, 2026, ahead of its second Super Four match against Headquarters in the Commissioner of Police T20 Cup 2026. The gesture reflected Mr Budhram’s continued commitment to the growth and development of cricket within the GPF, as well as his unwavering support for teams competing in the tournament.
Region Three captain Jason Anderson collected the items on behalf of his team and, in brief remarks, expressed sincere appreciation to Deputy Commissioner Budhram for the timely support. Anderson noted that the contribution was a meaningful one for the team as it prepared for an important Super Four encounter, adding that such encouragement serves as added motivation for the players to remain focused and continue giving of their best in the competition.
Mr Budhram’s continued support once again underscored his passion for Police cricket and his dedication to fostering unity, discipline, and excellence among ranks through sport.
