Kids Closet and Café Paradise/ Dixie Lee Caribbean Fast Food Franchise have put their money where their mouths are and have donated varying sums towards the ‘Wear Yellow’ initiative that proposes that supporters of the Golden Jaguars don yellow jerseys for the impending FIFA World Cup Qualifier fixture at the National Stadium, Providence on November 11.
The idea to render such support was born after the recent feats of the Golden Jaguars where they have defeated Barbados and Bermuda in home and away games in the current FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. The prognosis suggests the local ball weavers
have performed credibly and are expected to scale the two
remaining hurdles against Trinidad and Tobago in home and a
way matches.
The first encounter takes place at the National Stadium Providence on November 11 before the team travels to Trinidad and Tobago for the return clash on November 15.
Even as the players and football administrators exude confidence at the team’s chances of winning both matches, they are adamant that support is an important catalyst to foster a positive result. To this effect, the Kashif and Shanghai duo, known for their shrewd administrative skills, has been mandated to put the necessary modalities in place to ensure that the Golden Jaguars receive maximum support for the impending game.
The group has subsequently launched the ‘wear yellow’ initiative where spectators will be asked to deck out in jerseys of that colour in solidarity with the local team. Th
e initiative gathered momentum yesterday afternoon when the two members of the corporate community bought into the idea and donated varying sums towards its success.
The Kids Closet and Café Paradise of 16A North Road Lacytown and 216 South Road Lacytown, respectively, are two business entities under the ownership of Senobia Butcher, who had earlier acquiesced to support the initiative. Yesterday afternoon, Ms Butcher traveled to the Irving Street office of K&S and handed over an undisclosed sum to the Secretary of that organization, Sonia Stanislaus, to seal the deal.
Moments after that handing over ceremony, Operations Manager of Dixie Lee Caribbean Fast Food Franchise as well as Pomeroon Foods and Beverage Inc, Mr. Leonard Faerber made a similar donation, also to the same cause. He expressed deep gratitude to Mr. Faerber and Ms Butcher even as he urged the public to support their businesses.
Mr. Mohamed explained that the donations would be used to purchase yellow jerseys with the Golden Jaguars insignia emblazoned on the front. He said that persons purchasing tickets to the event would receive a jersey. However, the amount is limited and those desirous of procuring one should purchase tickets early. That apart, patrons are urged to dress with yellow jerseys in support of the local players.
Earlier, Manager of the Golden Jaguars, Mark
Xavier, had marveled at the support rendered by the Guyanese living in Barbados when the Golden Jaguars had engaged the Bajans in the return encounter in that country about a two weeks ago. He had told Kaieteur Sport then, that the Guyanese nationals living in Barbados had turned out waving flags and other paraphernalia related to Guyana. Mr. Xavier had issued a call for similar support at the impending Trinidad game.
“You just cannot forget the date; it will be historical in even sense,” said Kashif. And indeed it will be as the match will be played on the 11th day of the 11th month in the year 2011.
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
