The ten cricket teams of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club MS., are forging ahead with their campaign to get youths to embrace the beauty of life. The teams with sponsorship from Aurora Gold Mines, has published hundreds of Say Yes to Life, No to Suicid
e posters as part of its Berbice, Say No/Say Yes campaign.
Under the campaign, the cricket team seeks to advice youths to Say No to Drugs, Suicide, Alcohol, Tobacco Crime, Pre Martial Sex and Yes to Education, Sports, Life, Religion and Culture.
Club Secretary/CEO Hilbert Foster MS., stated that the posters would be placed in every school in Berbice. The club he stated is very concerned over the high rate of suicide among youths in Berbice and the loss of Guyana’s most valuable asset-it’s youths.
Noting that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary crisis or problem, the veteran youth leader who is also the President of the Berbice Cricket Board stated that youths have to understand that suicide is not an option.
The poster features the photos of five outstanding youth leaders from the Ancient County, who the club is promoting as positive role models. They are Education Advocate Mahendra Phagwah, Ms. Exquisitely Conscious 2019 Denica Henry, Youth Ambassador and Youth columnist Marissa Foster, Ms. World Guyana 2019 Joylyn Conway and Medical Student Shazam Somwar.
The poster advises youths to have hope, to place their faith in the God they believe in, to seek advice from trusted friends and not to keep problems to themselves. RHTY&SC Assistant Secretary/CEO Simon Naidu disclosed that distribution of the posters would commence shortly as the objective is to have one in every classroom across Berbice.
The publication of the posters is the second part of a three-way programme sponsorship from Aurora Gold Mines. Under the sponsorship, the ten cricket teams assisted ten less fortunate students with bicycles in an effort to get them to attend school regularly.
The final aspect of the joint programme would be the hosting of a one day youth inspiration forum involving two hundred students from Region 6. The RHTY&SC, Naidu stated has recommitted itself to expanding its Say No to Suicide programme after it’s Secretary/CEO observed firsthand the effects that suicide has on the family of victims during recent visits to the Port Mourant Hospital.
He expressed gratitude to the Management and Staff of Aurora Gold Mines especially Ms. Miranda La Rose and Mr. Braithwaite for their support. The ten cricket teams of the RHTY&SC are Poonai Pharmacy Under-12 and 13, Farfan and Mendes Under-15, Bakewell Under-17 and Second Division, Pepsi Under-19 and Intermediate, Metro Females, Thunderbolt Flour Under-21 and First Division.
