Terry Holder and Ananda Dharry instrumental in development of RHTY&SC — Foster
The Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC) last Sunday acknowledged the contributions of the late Terry Holder and Anande E T Dharry by honouring them posthumously with the club’s highest award – The Dolphin Award of Excellence – and launching two memorial programmes in their memory.
The two Berbicians had been Honorary members of the RHTY&SC, MS, and each had, for over two decades, played a major part in the club’s development.
Club Secretary Hilbert Foster has said that both Dharry and Holder had been very supportive of the work of the club, and had shared numerous ideas towards the development of programmes to make a positive difference in the lives of youths in the Ancient County.

Dharry had been a resident of Guyana’s smallest town, Rose Hall Town, and had headed the popular engineering company E and A Consultants of Peter Rose Street, Queenstown, Georgetown.
He had been very supportive of the club’s “Say Yes” to education and charity programmes.
Terry Holder, a former resident of No 79 Village, had been the person responsible for the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company coming on board as an official sponsor of the club for close to two decades, and had also been very supportive of the “Say No/Say Yes” programmes. He had served as a mentor to several club members, including Shawn Grant and Renwick Batson, who went on to play for Guyana at the junior level.

Three under-17 players drawn from clubs across the county received bicycles to assist in their attendance at cricket practice and school under the Terry Holder Memorial Programme.
The Anande Dharry Memorial Trust Fund handed over cricket balls to the Port Mourant and Rose Hall Canje cricket teams, while an under 13-player from the RHTY&SC benefited from a twenty-thousand-dollar educational grant towards his education.
The Dharry Fund also donated a cycle to Balraj Narine, a twelve-year-old student from Nigg Village.
Foster has said the club is delighted to honour the memory of both men, and committed that both programmes would continue in the future to assist youths.
He said Holder and Dharry would each always hold a special place in the history of the club. Ms Anasha Ally and her mother shared out the items in memory of her dad, while Holder’s daughter Dawn handed over the cycles to the three players.
