… to compete at Caribbean C/ships

IT is common knowledge that athletes leaving these shores for overseas competition have always found it difficult to raise funds to facilitate their ambitions of representing the Golden Arrowhead.This, however, will not be the case with karateka Ms Nathalie Gibson who is destined to represent Guyana at the Caribbean Karate Diagaku set for Trinidad and Tobago, next August 14-17. Continental Group of Companies through its Sunburst Orange Juice is making it possible for Gibson, a seasoned high performer for Guyana to seek more glory for this nation in the Twin Island Republic. At the company’s Industrial Site location earlier this week, Office Manager Mr Ravi Brignandan handed over a cheque to Ms Gibson that will cover her air fare to the championships in which eight countries will participate. Gibson, a member of the YMCA Dojo disclosed that they are aiming to send at least 30 member to Trinidad. Sunburst is no stranger to supporting sports in a sustained way. Football, table tennis and motor racing are some of the disciplines that have been benefiting over the years. Brignandan wished Gibson the best noting that Sunburst has always been backing her and will continue to do so. Gibson extended gratitude to Mr Brignandan, Mr Rakesh Puri (Managing Director, Continental Group of Companies), Mr Percival Boyce (Company Secretary) and Mr Khemraj Dhanraj (Sales/Marketing) for their continued support.
