The Muslim Youth Organisation’s (MYO) capacity to keep their ground and surroundings in tip top shape was enhanced yesterday with the donation of a Craftsman Lawn Tractor by members of the Guyanese Community in New York, the Bronx and New Jersey.
Mohamed Ally (Pally), formerly of Cane Grove/Strathaven, representing the overseas donors said they were very happy to assist the MYO and the Central Islamic Organisation of Guyana (CIOG) with the LTS 1500 grass cutting tractor.
“We are really happy to make this contribution. We have been following and are very encouraged with the number of cricket competitions and sports activities that takes place here at the MYO and we want to maintain and improve on this, thus the donation.”
“I would like to see other Guyanese living abroad coming together and giving back to their communities and supporting developmental programmes back home. Contributions of this nature help to empower people and assist in guiding our young people in the right direction.” Also chipping in with a contribution towards acquiring the grass cutter was the Cane Grove Fund Raising group of New York.
It was noted that Director of Education and Da’Wah of the CIOG, Shaikh Moeen Hack was instrumental in initiating the donation on a recent visit to New York.
Accepting the Lawn Tractor was MYO Senior Vice President Imran Ally who expressed his organisation’s gratitude to the donors for the gift, promising that it will enhance their capacity to keep a well trimmed ground, immensely.
