DIRECTOR of Sport, Christopher Jones, yesterday handed over a quantity of trophies and medals to the Deaf Association of Guyana for their two-day sporting action. Jones, who took the time out to watch some of the action yesterday at the Colgrain Pool, said that the donation was part of his commitment as well as the government’s commitment to ensuring that the differently-able and of course female participate in sport.
“The contributions to the Deaf Association, like the contributions that we made to the Blind Association a few weeks ago, are to encourage them, persons that are differently able, to come out and participate in sport, because there is support,” said Jones.
The two-day event commenced yesterday with the swimming championships and concludes today with the athletics segment at the Eve Leary ground
Events today will feature 400m boys and girls U-14, U-16, 16-18 as well as the boys and girls 200m U-14.
