RBL renews sponsorship of RHTY &SC Grade Six Summer Camp

…Club makes donation to RHT Police Outpost, Nursery School

The longstanding relationship between the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, MS, and Republic Bank (Guyana) Limited was renewed last Thursday when the bank, through its branch in Rose Hall Town, handed over a cheque for the sponsorship of the club’s Grade Six Summer Camp to the management of the club during a simple presentation ceremony attended by club executives Jonathan Rampersaud, Ravindranauth Kissoonlall and Tyrone Pottaya.

Rampersaud, a national junior player, has expressed gratitude to the management and staff of the Rose Hall Branch of the RBL, especially Manager Sattie Cox, for the Bank’s continued cooperation, and has said the club would make sure that the camp is not only successful, but achieves all of its objectives.
Rampersaud, has said that every child attending the camp would receive a special educational package, including a school bag, and numerous prizes would be up for grabs, including bicycles, food hampers, tablets, educational grants, household items, and sports gear.
Rampersaud, the RHTY&SC Asst Secretary/CEO, has said the bank has consistently been sponsoring the summer camp since 2008, apart from the years 2020 and 2021, when no summer camp was held because of the presence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The main objectives of the summer camp are to prepare grade six students to make a successful transition from primary to secondary school, and to prepare them for the different culture of dealing with more mature peers.
This camp would commence on Monday July 18, and would be supervised by the club’s cricket teams. The club has been overwhelmed by the large number of applications, but would accept only 50 students in total.
Over a period of four weeks, those students would be taught Mathematics, English Language, Social Studies and Science, and would be involved in basic cricket coaching and numerous social sessions as the teams strive for them to be fully prepared for secondary school.
Among the topics to be covered are: the importance of education, peer pressure, table manners, personal hygiene, classroom manners, how to choose friends, and discipline.
Meanwhile, RHTY&SC Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster, at a meeting with students of the Rose Hall Town Primary School, disclosed that the school’s top student at the upcoming National Grade Six exams would receive an educational grant of fifty thousand dollars and several other prizes when school reopens in September.
The teams of the RHTYSC are Poonai Pharmacy Under-13, Farfan and Mendes Ltd Under- 15, Bakewell Under-17 and Second Division, Pepsi Under-19 and Intermediate, Metro Female, Vitality Under-23 and NAMILCO Thunderbolt Under-21 and First Division.
On Friday last, these teams handed over a quantity of items to the Rose Hall Town Police Outpost as part of their outreach programmes. The donation included cricket gear, stationery, clock, radio, hand sanitizers, face masks, trophies, and a box of cricket balls. The teams also committed themselves to assisting with first aid kits and electric fans in the near future.
The teams also handed over a donation of trophies, medals and certificate frames to the RHT Nursery School for their upcoming graduation ceremony.
