The Everest Cricket Club which is in its 100th year, yesterday made a charitable donation
to the Bless the Children’s Home. The organisation currently houses 27 children between the ages of 5-16 years old and is located at Industry, East Coast Demerara.
The cheque of an undisclosed amount was handed over to the Director of the home, Surujnauth Surujpal by the club’s president, Stephen Lewis at a simple ceremony held at the club’s pavilion.
Prior to handing over the cheque, Lewis said the club recognises the need to give back to the community and to assist the less fortunate especially during the festive season.
“We at the Everest Cricket Club have, this year, included in our agenda benevolence. To this end, we have been reaching out to groups and organizations we consider in need and have been making our contributions. Earlier we partnered with Grant a Dream to host the Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre at a fun day. And so we make this monetary contribution to the Bless the Children’s Home and we hope that it will significantly assist their needs,” Lewis added.
He expressed gratitude to the many donors and members of the club for their assistance.
Surujpaul thanked the club for the timely contribution, and said it will certainly be used for its intended purpose.
