GUYANA Harpy Eagles and West Indies player, Kevin Sinclair alongside the Rose Hall Town Namilco Thunderbolt Flour team, recently joined forces as they lent towards the future development of the club’s young generation.
“This club teaches each one of its cricketers the importance of giving back to those less fortunate, to believe in the God we serve and to remember that the best way to serve God is to serve humanity.
We are taught to assist others to climb mountains when we have reached our summit. Today, I would like to pay it forward to some of my younger teammates by giving two of them a cricket bat each while I would like to support the Namilco Thunderbolt team to assist another member to move into a new home”.
Those were the words of Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club all-rounder, Kevin Sinclair, as he joined his team-mates in making a positive difference of three club-mates.
Sinclair, who has been a member of the RHTYSC for over six years, donated a cricket bat each to two of the club’s most promising players. Those benefitting were Romesh Bharrat and Tamehwar Deonandan of the club’s under-17 and under-13 teams respectively.
Bharrat, in 2023, will captain the under-17 and has already represented Berbice at the under-15, 17 and 19 levels. Deonandan is the captain of the RHTYSC Poonai Pharmacy under-13 team and has also represented Guyana and Berbice at the same level.
Sinclair, who has to date represented the West Indies in three One-Day international matches and six 20/20 matches, also joined his Namilco Thunderbolt teamates to assist a female member with several pieces of household and kitchen items.
The presentation assisted the female cricketer to move into a new home with her family. RHTYSC Organising Secretary, Robby Kissoonlall stated that the different cricket teams of the RHTYSC are mandated to assist youths.
Also benefitting from this were the elderly and less fortunate via a wide range of activities under the subheadings of culture, sports, charity, education, social, youth development, community development and anti-drugs, among others.
Members who have gone on to the highest levels are also encouraged to pay it forward by assisting upcoming promising members.
