Rose Hall Town cricket teams making positive difference

As part of their Community Outreach Programme, the cricketers and Management of the Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets Under-21 and First Division Teams recently assisted several organisations and individuals. The two teams are part of Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation, the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, MS and have been mandated by the club Management to successfully complete 50 activities in 2018 under the Sub-headings of Sports,

Education, Community development, Religion, Anti-Drugs, Anti-Crime, Anti-Suicide and Coaching among others.
The teams donated two cricket trophies to the Port Mourant Secondary School for their annual fundraising cricket tournament while the organisers of the Ministry of Education Mash Sub-Committee also received a trophy. The teams also make a financial contribution to the Organisers of a Religious Revival Outreach Programme.
Meanwhile, the Belvedere based New Start Play School received a donation of Guyana Flags and other materials to enable them to organise their Annual Mash Parade while the Upper Corentyne Cricket Association benefitted from a donation of Exercise Books, Pens, Pencils and Reading materials.
The Upper Corentyne Cricket Association would use the donated items to reward outstanding players in a Primary School Cricket Competition. Twelve years old Rohan Sundar of Belvedere also received a financial donation to purchase a bicycle to enable him to attend school. Seven less fortunate families on request to the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club also received groceries while three senior citizens received assistance for medical care and medication. The teams in request also assisted in the funeral expenses of a senior citizen of Rose Hall Town.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster stated that with cricket not being played in Berbice currently, the Club is placing emphasis on completing its targeted off the cricket field activities. The Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club and its cricket teams strongly believes in assisting others as the more you get, the more you would receive in blessings. Special emphasis, he stated would be placed on assisting Senior Citizens and less fortunate families while the Upper Corentyne Cricket Association would continue to benefit from the assistance of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club because they are known to be hard workers.
The Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets Under-21 team is led by Kelvin Sinclair while the First Division team is led by former National Under-19 Captain Shawn Pereira with National Player Clinton Pestano as his deputy. The two teams would next week hand over a donation of anti-crime bumper stickers to the ‘B’ Division of the Guyana Police Force while they are also preparing to host the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club Annual Children Mash Parade on Friday.
