Project “Cricket gear for young and promising cricketers in Guyana” : Latch Mohabir and family support project with cash

USA-based Guyanese Latch Mohabir and his family have provided $20,000 cash towards the project “Cricket gear for young and promising cricketers in Guyana”.
A former resident of East Canje Berbice, Mohabir has said he is following the work of the project, and is impressed with the number of youths who have benefited from the initiative, and the reaches of the clubs from whence they originate, thus his support.

This joint initiative between Anil Beharry of Guyana and Kishan Das of the USA has progressed well since its inception, and will continue to provide support towards the development of young people and cricket in general.
The owners of this initiative have expressed their gratitude for the assistance provided by Mohabir and his family.
Total cricket related items collected so far: $250,000 cash, two trophies, twelve cricket boots, nineteen pairs of batting pads, twenty-one bats, fifteen pairs of batting gloves, nineteen thigh pads, one pair of wicketkeeping pads, one arm guard, six cricket bags and two helmets.
In addition to the above, $600,000 worth in gear was donated by Sheik Mohamed, former national wicketkeeper- batsman.
To date, thirty-eight young players from all three counties of Guyana have already benefited from the receipt of three junior gear bags, two trophies, one arm guard, fourteen bats, one box of cricket balls, two helmets, eleven pairs of cricket shoes, ten pairs of batting pads, one bat rubber and twelve pairs of batting gloves.

In addition, two clubs in the Pomeroon area of Region Two have benefited from the receipt of two used bats. Pomeroon, Leguan and Wakenaam Cricket Committees and Cotton Tree Die Hard Committee have also each received one box of red cricket balls, while the RHCCCC has received two boxes, fifteen white cricket shirts, one pair of junior batting pads, one pair of wicketkeeping gloves, and a set of stumps and bails.
Cricket-related items, used or new, would be distributed free of cost to young and promising cricketers in Guyana. Skills, discipline and education are important characteristics of the recipients. Talent spotting is being done across the country, and club leaders also assist to identify talent. Progressive and well managed clubs would also benefit.
