As they prepare to jet off a team of 17 of Guyana’s brightest athletic prospects to the Caribbean Free Trade Association (CARIFTA) Games — scheduled to be hosted at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex in the Cayman Islands from April 20 to 22 — the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG) was on Monday given a boost in this respect by Grace Kennedy Remittance Services (GKRS).

In a small handing over ceremony held at the GKRS office, Marketing Assistant Dennis Heywood presented Leota Bobb of the AAG with a sponsorship cheque for the sum of $263,000. According to Heywood and Bobb, this donation will cover the cost of acquiring tracksuits and polo T-shirts for the travelling team.
Heywood noted that GKRS is driven by the prospect of helping youths to realise their dreams. “This opportunity comes at a good time for Grace Kennedy, and it really fits in with what our company believes in. We, as a company, believe in making dreams come true, and this is an opportunity to make the dreams of some young athletes – hopefully, our future Olympians — come true,” Heywood explained.
AAG Admin Secretary Leota Bobb was oozing with gratitude towards the company. “I must say, ‘Thank you on behalf of the AAG’, for Grace Kennedy’s support this year with the CARIFTA. We are indeed grateful for your sterling contribution, and we will look forward for your continued support in the years to come,” Bobb stated.
The athletes who have qualified to participate in the CARIFTA Games on Guyana’s behalf are as follows:
FEMALES: Adriel Austin — Running Brave (800M), Princess Browne – Running Brave (Triple jump), Brianna Charles – Running Brave (100M), Jahaziah Copeland – Upper Dem (Shot put), Anisha Gibbons – Ruralites (Javelin), Deshana Skeete – Christianburg- Wismar Secondary School (CWSS) (200M), Keliza Smith – Running Brave (400M) and Shaquka Tyrell – CWSS (800, 1500M).
