YWCC donate hampers to sugar workers

In a simple act of generosity, the Cumberland, East Canje-based Young Warriors Cricket Club (YWCC) on Monday donated a quantity of food hampers to senior members and former employees of GuySuCo, Rose Hall Estate.

The idea was realised through one of the more senior member of the club, Ishwar Singh, brother of former West Indies Under and Senior National Cricketer, Gajanand Singh.

At a simple ceremony held recently, Sahadeo Singh, father of Ishwar Singh, said his son felt for the people around the East Canje area who were all affected by the closure of the estate. He said that as far as he could remember, the entire community depended on the sugar estate, adding that it was painful to see the hardship residents are going through.
