PPP/C, KSM Investments Inc donate $500,000 in sports gear to St Cuthbert’s Sports Club

The St Cuthbert’s Sports Club, having taken the initiative to develop sporting activities under the leadership of village sports counsellor and club chairman Timothy Andrews, approached the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) and KSM Investments Inc with information about their initiative.

They soon discovered that these entities share their vision and, in furtherance thereof, donated a quantity of sporting gear to the club to the total value of $500,000.
In conversation with Club Chairman Timothy Andrews, it was related to this publication that the project was birthed a few months ago, when the owner of KSM Investments Inc, Mahadeo Panchu, and a team from the PPP/C visited St Cuthbert’s Mission and were able to see the talent resident there. Discussion followed, and a promise was made to support the club with sports gear.
The promises made were kept, and the result is that there was handed over to the club sporting gear that included top-of-the-line equipment for cricket, volleyball, and football activities valued at $500,000.

Panchu has posited that the team would ensure that youths are included in their plans amidst the neglect currently being faced under the incumbent coalition administration. In the future, the team would ensure that the younger generation, especially those from the community, are afforded opportunities.
The team anticipates that, come March 2, 2020, the community would support the PPP/C with their vote, so that when that party gets into power, it would better be able to correct the situation of community neglect.

In expressing his views on the timely donation, Andrews said, “Well, I feel overjoyed, for the youths couldn’t ask for a better time than this. It comes just at the perfect time, when we now are starting the under-15 and under-17 cricket programmes, and when our senior team is developing into a team to be reckoned with, but have no sort of gears.
“We are a community that has a lot of potential in sports such as cricket, football, volleyball and athletics, but (we) have no sort of proper gear. Youths want to be involved (in sporting activities), and now, with this donation, we have something to draw them in, so that all sports disciplines in the village can benefit.”
Andrews elaborated that, with the system and programme that are currently in place, the sports club is endeavouring to get involved in things that can only get better going forward. He said that as the village sports counsellor and sports club chairman, he has personally seen the positive changes that sports make in people’s lives, and the discipline sports bring.
Andrews had this parting remark: “If we have discipline, then we have cooperation; and once we have cooperation, we have love, which is unity; and that’s what sports is all about.”
