RHTY&SC 1st home project…

The Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC) has embarked on one of its most ambitious projects – the construction of a home for one of its hardest working members and executives.
The club has, over the years, successfully hosted thousands of diverse activities, but the home project is the first of its kind. The RHTY&SC parent body and founder, St Francis Community Developers has, over the past two decades, assisted hundreds of Berbicians to get a home in joint projects with Food For The Poor.
Club Secretary/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Hilbert Foster stated that executives of Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation decided to undertake the special project to assist the hardworking Assistant Secretary/CEO Simon Naidu in appreciation of his contribution to the development of the club.

Naidu joined the club in 2015 at the age of 15 and six years later is not only the Assistant Secretary/CEO, but is also responsible for the day-to-day operation of the club, which hosts a record 700 activities every year. Naidu also serves as the very vibrant Public Relations Officer of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB).
The project involves the Naidu family home in the village of Hampshire which was abandoned in 2015 after the family moved to Rose Hall Town following the death of his father. Foster , who is specially looking after the project, stated that a lower flat is being constructed while the upper flat would be repaired.
The 11 teams of the club would also assist with the furnishing of the home before the official handing over in early August. Foster, who is also President of the BCB, stated that the club was delighted to be of assistance to Naidu as over the last six years, he has been an asset to the club with his outstanding leadership despite his young age. Foster disclosed that owing to Naidu’s leadership of the RHTY&SC, he has been able to concentrate on his duties at the BCB.
The club has received assistance from a wide range of its friends and sponsors including overseas-based Guyanese Brian Ramphal, Dr Puran Singh, Rajenda Sadeo, Bakewell, Farfan and Mendes, Panthera Solutions, GK Inc, Michael Khan, Avenash Ramzan, Romario Samaroo/Decoris Service, Bissan Trading, Mortimer and Lucille George, Anasha Ally, Rajendra Ganga, and Anil Beharry.
Farfan and Mendes marketing executive Onai Vasconcellos stated that the company and the club have enjoyed close to 25 years of partnership, and the business was delighted to be of assistance to a remarkable young man who has himself been a positive role model to many youths across Guyana.
The 11 cricket teams undertaking the project are Poonai Pharmacy Under-12 and Under-13, Farfan and Mendes Under-15, Bakewell Under-17 and Second-Division, Pepsi Under-19 and Second-Division, Metro Females, Vitality Inc Under-23, and Namilco Under-21 and First-Division.
