The ten cricket teams of Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, MS recently launched their 2018 Anti-crime Programme for the ancient county of Berbice. The Teams, Rose Hall Town Farfan & Mendes Under-15, Bakewell Under-17 and Second Division, Pepsi Under-19 and Intermediate, Metro Females, King Solomon Logistics Under-12, Poonai Pharmacy Under-13, Gizmos & Gadgets Under-21 and First Division, handed over a quantity of indoor and outdoor games to the Guyana Prison Service Berbice Division, while the ‘B’ Division of the Guyana Police Force received a large quantity of bumper stickers.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster stated that the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club and its ten cricket teams in 2015 launched its Anti-Crime Programme at the urging the then Commander of ‘B’ Division Ian Amsterdam. The main objectives of the campaign are to offer youths an alternative to a life on the road, to inspire youths to reject crime and to assist the relevant youths to reject crime and to assist the relevant Law Enforcement Agencies to fulfill their mandates in keeping Guyana safe.
The donation to the Prison Service consists of dominoes sets, football and basketballs. The 1000 bumper stickers which were donated to the Guyana Police Force featured the telephone contacted numbers for every Police Station and Outpost based in Berbice. The main obj
ectives of the bumper stickers project are to assist residents to seek police assistance during a crime and to report crimes that they might have witnessed. Foster stated that most people are unaware of the telephone numbers of Police Stations across Berbice and the stickers would seek to correct this situation.
Over the last four years, the cricket teams have assisted the Guyana Police Force with sport gears, trophies, bicycles, torch lights, television set, stationery, furniture, bumper stickers and educational posters among others.
The teams have also contributed footwear, school bags and educational materials towards the Police Force assisting less fortunate students in crime affected areas. Vice President Mark Papannah and Organising Secretary Rabindranauth Kissoonlall, who are responsible for Anti-Crime Campaign, stated that this year’s programme would include posters, Television Programme, Youth Information Booklets, assistance to less fortunate students, distribution of school bags and Youth Inspiration Forum. Representatives of both the Prison Service and the Guyana Police Force extended gratitude to the Cricket Teams.
