THE Young Warriors Cricket Club (YWCC) of Cumberland Village, East Canje, Berbice, has, once again, in partnership with Ishwar Singh of GuyBiz, distributed over 30 food hampers to the elderly in the East Canje area. Each hamper costs $25,000.
The initiative started several years ago and has been funded by Singh ever since. The wicket-keeper/batsman is a long-serving member of Young Warriors Cricket Club. The former Berbice youth cricketer stated that he feels a sense of joy doing this annual charity in his community. The club is pleased to partner with Singh and wishes him more success in his business and personal life.

The YWCC is in the process of rebuilding after a few years of inactivity. The fences, landfilling and washroom facilities were recently done by the Government through the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport. The club plans to complete the outfield, repair the pavilions and aggressively increase its membership, youths in particular.

Over the years, and in a short period of time, the club produced batting star Shimron Hetmyer along with Gajanand Singh, Damodar Daesrath, Richard Ramdeen, Kwesi Maltay and many other Berbice, Guyana and West Indies cricketers, and at all levels.
The YWCC won several tournaments in Berbice and Guyana and was twice voted as club of the year at the Guyana Cricket Board annual awards ceremony.
