Once again the Young Warriors Cricket Club (YWCC) of Cumberland Village, East Canje, Berbice in partnership with Ishwar Singh of GuyBiz, distributed over 30 food hampers to the elderly in the East Canje area. Each hamper cost $25,000.
This initiative started several years ago and has always been funded by Singh. The wicketkeeper-batsman is a long-serving member of club.
The former Berbice youth cricketer stated that he feels a sense of joy doing this annual charity in the community he was born. The club are pleased to partner with Singh and wish him more success in his business and personal life.
The YWCC are in the process of rebuilding after a few years of inactivity. The fences, landfilling and washroom facilities were recently done by the Government through the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport. The club plan to complete the outfield, repair the pavilions and aggressively increase membership, youths in particular.
Over the years, and in a short period of time, the club produced batting star Shimron Hetmyer, along with Gajanand Singh, Damodar Daesrath, Richard Ramdehol, Kwesi Maltay and many other Berbice, Guyana and West Indies cricketers, and at all levels. The YWCC won several tournaments in Berbice and Guyana and were twice voted Club of the Year at the Guyana Cricket Board annual awards ceremony.
