The Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) in conjunction with the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC) last weekend donated $500,000 worth of books to six cricket clubs under their “Say Yes to Reading” programme.
The presentation was done as the BCB launched their Diamond Jubilee celebration and the beneficiaries were Bush Lot, Blairmont, Young Warriors, Whim, Chesney and Rose Hall Canje.
Secretary/CEO of the RHTY&SC and Chairman of the BCB Special Events Committee, Hilbert Foster stated that the Board and his club were determined to make sure that every cricketer in the Ancient County develops a love for reading as it was the best way to produce an educated mind. Too many young players are only interested in playing the game alone but Foster stated that with all the technologies involved, along with dealing with the media and sponsors, it is very important that all players be educated and well informed.
He challenged the administrators of the different clubs to ensure that the Mini Libraries are established as early as possible and that the young cricketers benefit from them. At least ten other Mini Libraries would be established at other clubs during the Diamond Jubilee year.
BCB First Vice President Anil Beharry stated that clubs in the Ancient County should be proud of the outstanding work of the Board as it was making a positive difference on and off the field of play.
He urged the club to place special emphasis on improving the educational background of every member. President of both, the BCB and RHTY&SC, Keith Foster noted that both organisations would continue to invest in education as it was the key to success.
The BCB, the President continued, was one of the few cricket Boards in the Caribbean which invests heavily in every aspect of its cricketers’ development. Representatives of the six clubs expressed gratitude to the BCB while pledging that the Mini Libraries would be established shortly and would be open to youths in their areas as well.
