Fourteen-year old, Eshwerie Kesrilall, of Corentyne Comprehensive High School of Port Mourant copped the top prize when the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) hosted the presentation ceremony for its 2012 Bank of Nova Scotia Essay Competition which was opened to all Secondary School in Berbice.
Chairman of the BCB Special Events Committee, Hilbert Foster who organised the event, stated that the students were asked to write essays (250-300 words) on the topic “Education is important in the life of a cricketer”.
The main aims of the competition were to promote the valve of education among youths and to underscore the importance of education in the career of young players. Forster disclosed that dozens of entries were received but expressed his disappointment about the attitude of several Head teachers who simply refused to cooperate despite the BCB obtaining permission from the Region 6 Ministry of Education.
The veteran Administrator also disclosed that on April 29, they would be hosting a Spelling Bee tournament for Primary School students and a Poster competition for Nursery School students as part of its Pro-Education Campaign.
Mr. Mohamed Azim of the Bank of Nova Scotia praised the BCB for investing in the educational development of youths. He disclosed that the Bank was pleased to be associated with Berbice cricket and apart from sponsoring the Essay and Spelling Bee competitions, would also be sponsoring the 2012 Berbice Cricket Academy.
Winner of the essay competition, Keswerie Kesrilall, received $15,000 and a trophy, first runner up Keesha DeSouza $10,000 while second runner-up Meezan Sain collected $5,000. Headmistress, Nermala Hussain, received $25,000 on behalf of CCHS for producing the winner of the Essay competition.
The BCB is expressing gratitude to Ms. Jennifer Ciprani of the Bank for sponsoring the competition.
