RHTY&SC, Regal Stationery, and other charitable entities assist Corentyne family
As part of their mutual responsibility, the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, Regal Stationery and Computer Centre, Florida Guyana Hope Inc. and Crabwood Creek breath of Hope and Relief have thrown their support behind a Corentyne family.
In an act of benevolence, the organisations have pooled their resources to erect a dwelling house for the family at 58 Section B, Bloomfield.
Chunilall Sonaroo, his wife Yankumarie Seenarine, and their daughter Gitanjali Sonaroo, a student of J.C. Chandisingh Secondary, are the beneficiaries.
Secretary of the RHTY&SC, Hilbert Foster, has said the family reached out to him, and, without hesitation, the club decided to render assistance.
Foster said that when he sought backing from the other organisations, they immediately decided to make an input, and he has commended them for their goodwill.
He said the family has also received financial support, which has been deposited at the Republic Bank.
Foster, along with President of the Florida Guyana Hope, Mohamed Yasin, executive member Raj Bharrat, Chief Executive Officer of the Regal Stationery and Computer Centre, Mahendra Hardyal, and Reshma Seepersaud of Crabwood Creek Breath of Hope and Relief, along with other members of the various organisations, visited the family on Monday to confirm their assistance.
Yasin has said they are happy to assist, and has lauded George Baijnauth, Chairman of Guyana/Florida Hope, a sister non-profit organisation which is based in Upper Corentyne, for his efforts in coordinating such projects.
Yasin has indicated that they would ensure the project is completed. “We are here to give back while he can, so as to make life better,” he noted.
The Florida/Guyana Hope Incorporated is a nonprofit foundation made up of Guyanese living in Florida, USA. The organisation was founded in December 2013, and has expanded tremendously in that short space of time.
The body is also actively involved in sports, and takes part in softball cricket. It has made several contributions to clubs locally.
Regal Stationery and Computer Centre, as they have done over the years, continue to assist Guyanese families with their kindheartedness and, CEO Hardyal has committed to provide a laptop to assist Gitanjali Sonaroo with her education, and to furnish the home for the family.
“What are we living for, if not to help each other?” he questioned. Hardyal has also committed to undertake a similar venture in the Corentyne area.
Regal Stationery and Computer Centre and Regal Sports are the owners of the Regal Softball Cricket Franchise, and they have won a number of titles both locally and overseas.
Rashma Seepersaud of Crabwood Creek Breath of Hope and Relief has said this body was established in 2019 and has since reached out to residents with various needs. She added that members are happy to be involved in the project.
Seenarine and her daughter Sonaroo are not in the best of health currently, and Foster has said that due to the illness of the student, her education is being affected somewhat, and the club would play its part to aid in this area.
Raj Bharrat has expressed gratitude to all those involved in helping to improve the lives of families in Guyana, while
Chunilall Sonaroo has thanked all those engrossed in helping to better the standard of living of his family.
