P & P INSURANCE Brokers and Consultants Ltd., of 272 and 273 Lamaha Street, North Georgetown, is once again on board with “Project Cricket Gear for young and promising cricketers in Guyana,” the joint initiative by Anil Beharry of Guyana and Kishan Das of the USA.
The company, which was established 40 years ago, donated one cricket bat, one pair of batting pads and one pair of batting gloves. P & P Insurance and Consultants Ltd., is the most trusted in their line of business. They continue to fulfill their social responsibilities, not only in sports, but in charities in general.
At a simple but significant ceremony held recently, Bish Panday, Founder and CEO of the company, expressed his confidence in this project and its spread across the country. The former long-serving cricket administrator, who served in the capacity as the Honorary Secretary of the Guyana Cricket Board, Director of West Indies Cricket Board and President of Georgetown Cricket Association, said his company will continue to give back to communities in Guyana with the hope of making a difference in the lives of people, young ones in particular.
The presentation was done in the presence of Vikash Panday, Executive Director of P & P Insurance Brokers.
