… Health 2000 Inc. provides supplements for participating schools

EVERY child from the 12 participating schools in the inaugural Petra Organisation Girls Under-11 Inter-Primary football tournament, will be given one bottle of ‘Vitamaks’ multivitamin, compliments of Health 2000 Incorporated. Health 2000 (Guyana) Inc. specialises in pharmaceuticals, agricultural products and medical supplies and, according to the company; its team of dedicated professionals have a significant understanding of health and approach same in a holistic manner.

Commenting on the company’s more than generous contribution to the tournament, Managing Director Maliaka Persaud said that when approached by Petra Organisation to be one of the tournament’s sponsors, she was more than intrigued by the idea to put some emphasis on young women – something she says is often neglected in sports, especially in Guyana.
Persaud said having a daughter she welcomed the idea and pledged her entity’s support, noting, “We know that Petra is always doing something positive for our youths, so it wasn’t hard in lending our support, but we wanted to do it in a major way and one that will have an impact on the players.”
Co-Director of Petra Organisation Troy Mendonca showered the company with praise especially the initiative taken to provide the supplements.
The tournament, which was endorsed by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health, also sees sponsorship from Ansa McAl Trading (Smalta). It will kick off on Saturday November 15 at the Ministry of Education ground on Thomas Lands.
St Margaret’s, Tucville, North Georgetown, South Ruimveldt, St Pius, Marian Academy, F.E Pollard, Enterprise, East La Penitence, St Stephen’s and Stella Maris are the competing schools.
