He stated that while preparation for the Village and Charity Programme started late owing to the hectic Berbice cricket season, plans are falling into place for a successful venture.
The teams will be sharing out $3 million in food hampers, clothing, educational materials and toys to children and less-fortunate families in Berbice. In addition, the Rose Hall Town Primary School’s compound will be transformed into a child’s dreamland. It will be a Christmas village that includes the Nativity Scene, Christmas star, inflatable Christmas characters, children games, Santa and his sleigh, bouncy castles, trampoline and play board, and cut-out characters. The Cricket Club would like to encourage children to visit the Village with their parents.
