President of Reliance Hustlers Sports Club Trevis Simon has expressed delight for the support of the Youth Programme from First Lady Arya Ali under her National Beautification Project.
Simon stated that the gear will be used for the ongoing youth programme which is being coached by former Guyana youth cricketer Nathan Persaud.
According to Simon, who is also the Captain of the club, the programme is assisting with the development of young cricketers.
A number of players went on to represent Essequibo at the Inter-County level which is a demonstration that the programme is helping the aspiring cricketers to achieve their goals. Simon mentioned they are working to have nets at the moment and that will certainly bring more benefits for these young and talented cricketers. Simon disclosed too that he is happy with the progress the cricketers have made and shared similar sentiments to Persaud for his technical input.
He acknowledged the timely support of Ali and encouraged the youths to take good care of the cricket equipment and make maximum use of it as well.
More than half of million dollar in gear was given to the club and it comprised of helmet, batting pads, gloves and balls.
โYouth and sports development are pillars of national development; promoting grassroots participation in sporting activities helps us to position sports as a tool for empowerment and positive social change,โ declared by Ali on her Facebook page.
