Sentinel Security donates to BCB Special Projects Fund

In continuing its support of the activities of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB), Sentinel Security has made a significant financial contribution to the BCB’s “Special Projects Fund”.
Sentinel’s Managing Director Noreen Seubaran-Gaskin has said that she and her company are pleased to be part of this initiative, and will continue to help cricket development in the Ancient County whenever possible.

When the BCB had embarked on its “Balls for Second Division Teams in Berbice” project in 2018, Sentinel Security company had also come forward with support. That first project had been very successful, raising $830,000 — an amount made possible through contributions from Brian Chunilall, Noreen Seubaran-Gaskin, Yasin Mohamed, Two Friends of BCB, Ryan and Ian Bhagwandin, Derick and Renick Beharry, Kalvin Somrah, Raj “Rebels” Mathura, Faizal Jaffarally, Bobby and Pamela Kewlachand, Mukesh Matai, Danny Somai, Yadram Bhoj, Sharmila Muneshwar, Javed Raffik, Nazim Hussain, Allan Mangru, Owen Humphrey, Sean Devers, Vijai Dass, Bhim George, Surendra Hiralall, Jack Beharry, Latcho Mohabir, Chetram Seooppersaud and Jeffrey Samaroo.
As a result of that initiative, every cricket club in the county of Berbice had received cricket balls, while young and promising cricketers such as West Indies Under-15 pacer Isiah Thorne and National Under-19 opener Alex Algoo had also benefited.
This Special Projects Fund has now raised $325,000 from the responses of Tyler and Mia, Kalvin Somrah, Renick Beharry, Raj Mathura, Ian Bhagwandin, Tageram and family, and Sentinel Security. They had all contributed towards the first project.
Funds from this project will assist cricket clubs with balls; assist young, promising cricketers; and assist the BCB to acquire cricket pitch covers so that key matches, including semi-finals and finals, can be played without any rain interruption, as the BCB strives to spread the game across the length and breadth of the ancient county.
Besides the foregoing, the board would consider other requests as it sees fit. Former Minister Dr Leslie Ramsammy had assisted the BCB with US$2,000 worth of cricket balls to supplement this project.
Persons desirous of contributing to this project can contact Angela Haniff on 333-2375, or Hilbert Foster on 337-4433 or 337-4562.
