SINCE its formation in 1990, the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club has placed special emphasis on the importance of education by investing heavily to assist students to fulfil their educational goals.

To this end, the club assisted one drop-out youth and 12 students of the Rose Hall Town Nursery School.

The club’s assistant secretary/CEO, Simon Naidu, stated that the main agenda for Guyana’s leading youth and sports organisation in 2019 is the promotion of its highly successful ‘Say No/Say Yes’ Campaign which targets all youths in Berbice.

The 10 cricket teams recently donated financially to 18-year-old Govindan Sahadeo of Port Mourant to assist him to fulfil his dream of writing several subjects at the CSEC Level.

Sahadeo was forced to leave school due to the ill-health of his father; he had to work and take care of his younger siblings. Today, he wants to complete his education with the objective to join the medical profession.

Naidu, in handing over the $20,000 cheque, praised the employee of the Port Mourant hospital for having the courage to complete his education and stated that the RHTY&SC was willing to assist in the future. Sahadeo expressed gratitude to the club.
The teams also handed over $50,000 worth of educational materials to the management of the Rose Hall Town Nursery School.

The much-needed items would be donated to 12 students of the school based on discipline, attitude and the financial income of their parents.

Additionally, RHTY&SC and the teams donated over $100,000 worth of trophies, medals and prizes to several schools across Berbice on requests for upcoming graduation and fund-raising events.

Naidu stated that the club would continue to invest in youths and disclosed that a major sponsorship would soon be unveiled for the Say No/Say Yes Campaign.
