Leah’s Enterprise on board “Cricket Gear for Young and Promising Cricketers in Guyana” project
Leah’s Enterprise of Rosignol, West Coast, Berbice is the latest sponsor to come on board the “Cricket Gear for Young and Promising Cricketers in Guyana” project.
This initiative, a joint effort of Kishan Das of the USA and influential local personality Anil Beharry, aims to provide cricket gear free of cost to young and talented cricketers in Guyana. The project is seeking to acquire new and used cricket gear for distribution to young and promising cricketers across the length and breadth of Guyana.

In presenting her donation of cash, Leana Bachan, owner and Managing Director of Leana’s Enterprise, said she is happy to be part of this noble project, is confident it would make a difference in the lives of many youths, and would build better communities in Guyana.
Anil Beharry expressed gratitude to Ms Bachan for the donation.
Total cricket-related items collected thus far is as follows: cash for first aid kit, twelve pairs of batting pads, eleven bats, eight pairs of batting gloves, and two cricket bags.
Fifteen young players from communities on the Essequibo Coast and the Pomeroon have already benefited from the receipt of five bats, six pairs of batting pads and four pairs of batting gloves. Two clubs in the Pomeroon have also benefited from the receipt of two bats.
Talent spotting will be done across Guyana, along with guidance from club leaders to identify the players. Players ideally must be in school and must be disciplined persons, but players above school age would also be considered.
Das and Beharry would like to thank Imran and Javed Khan of West Indian Sports Complex, Option Group, Bish Panday of P and P Insurance Brokers, Sean Devers, Travis Simon, Hilbert Foster of RHTY&SC, Ariel Tilku, Aaron Beharry, Devon Ramnauth, Sherman Austin, Leana Bachan and Imran Saccoor for their contributions made towards the project thus far.
