scrumptious meal, sweets and trophies.
Assistant Administrative Officer of BBCI, Ms. Faneeza Alli, said the company decided “to come on board mainly due to the fact that volleyball in Berbice (East and West) has progressed and created a great attraction to Berbicians.” “Also, it must be noted that the Three Door Strikers has done outstanding work in creating a pastime for youths thereby keeping them away from drugs, crime and other illicit activities.”
President of the Three Doors Strikers Volleyball Club, Mr. Naresh Jairam offered his thanks and appreciation. “I must say how grateful we are to receive the equipment as well; as providing sweets and trophies for the kids in this community. We thank the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Omadatt Samaroo and Admin Assistant for helping out to make this a success and also Mr. Chetram Deochand and Mr. Tee for contributing to the volleyball club. We the members of the club would like to say a big thank you to all the people in this community for their support and with this we will always strive to be a better club. As the president and coach of the club, I am happy to work with the youths for making a better community.”
Alli stated that the company will continue to sponsor other events subjected to the availability of funds “and is looking at a wider cross- section of sports and other charitable, non- charitable, Government, Non- Government (NGO)”.
“The BBCI does not only play the role of collecting tolls and facilitate vehicles crossing the Berbice River Bridge and vessels transiting through the retractor span and under the High Span, but also discharges its corporate responsibilities, that is, being a good corporate citizen and more importantly play an important role in the development of sports and charitable and non- charitable organizations.”
