Youth basketball Guyana (YBG) recently conducted a two -day outreach programme in Region 9 at St. Ignatius Village.
The outreach was supported by sponsors G-Boats Inc and facilitated by St. Ignatius Secondary school staff.
YBG director Chris Bowmen said the school which is minutes away from the Brazilian towns of Bomfim and Boa Vista can organise friendly matches with the new gear provided.
The school collected two basketball backboards which will be installed in the school square, which was recently resurfaced by G-Boats Inc and will soon be marked for both basketball and volleyball.
The school also received four Wilson basketballs, courtesy of Philip Lewis and donors.
YBG said its goal is to continue supporting the St. Ignatius basketball programme as they work towards making their first-ever appearance at this year’s National School Basketball Festival (NSBF).
