WEST Indies all-rounder, Keemo Paul, recently paid a visit to the Timehri Prison, East Bank Demerara, where he interacted with some of the inmates and encouraged them to live positive lives when they are released and to equip themselves with the tools to do so.

The trip, which was organised by his close friend, Siddiq Mohamed, Paul urged them not to make the same mistakes when they re-integrate into society and that they must always seek to develop themselves.

The prisoners questioned the all-rounder about life as an international cricketer, the demands of the coaches, and the pressures he faces in life.

They also indicated it was the first time an active sport personality of such magnitude visited the facility and they appreciate the wisdom he shared.

Paul promised to donate balls and bats to the facility, and also return to participate in a friendly game of cricket.
