looked forward to (receiving) this award, and I am inspired to redouble my efforts for the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club and the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB),” Foster declared.
The BCB boss told this publication that he has dedicated this award to his mother, who is ailing. Foster and his two brothers, Keith and Alex, were raised by their mother, who played both parental roles in their lives. Keith Foster, the elder brother, is a respectable businessman and the former BCB President, while Alex Foster heads the familiar St Francis Community Developers Youth Club. These brothers have played inspirational roles in Hilbert’s life.
Foster has also dedicated this MS award to his late grandmother, who, like his mother, had played an integral role in his life.
Foster hails the outstanding support he has always enjoyed from the executive members of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club and the BCB. He specifically thanked Ms Angela Haniff and Messrs Neil Rudder, Cycil Beharry, Simon Naidu, Kissoonlal and Hicks, among other veteran members who continue to give him immense support.
“The Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club has also received an award (MS), and these individuals have continuously showed support for the club and myself in winning this award,” Foster related.
Foster also stated that he would continue to assist the elderly and less fortunate, disclosing that as long he remains President of the most vibrant cricket board (BCB) in the country, he would continue to break new barriers in Guyana and his administration would continue to make a difference in the lives of youths.
This Medal of Service award that Foster received recently is the fifth highest award of the Order of Service of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana.
