The Gandhi Youth Organisation Cricket Club last week collected several pieces of cricket gear from New York based businessman, Prem Singh, of Seven Star Fuel.
At a simple handing over ceremony at the GYO ground last Thursday, the Leonora-born businessman turned philanthropist, who has annually contributed gear and finances to a number of clubs and schools in Guyana, promised his continued support to the Club, due to the work it continues to do in assisting very young cricketers. His generosity also saw two other smaller clubs receiving gear.
The Sophia Cricket Club (C Field) represented by Garth Allen was very happy
to collect pads, helmet, wicketkeeping gloves, arm guards and a number of other pieces at the ceremony. Benefitting similarly, too, was the Tuschen Cricket Club.
A. Goolsarran, President of GYO, thanked Mr. Singh for his support over the years, indicating that without such support the club would have seen challenging times.
Cricket is getting more and more expensive and a nursery for youngsters has a tremendous costs, it was noted. Both Mr. Singh and Mr. Goolsarran urged that more persons come forward and support the lovely game at the club level because here is where our national and international players are born.
