The likes of former Guyana Jaguars coaches Esuan Crandon and Julian Moore and former Test player Sewnarine Chattergoon are expected to conduct sessions at the Blairmont Community Centre Cricket Club (BCCCC).
The club is hosting a cricket clinic from July 17-20.
Chattergoon will be present on July 19, and Crandon’s sessions will be on July 20, meaning the final two days will have both morning and afternoon sessions.
Moore will be active on July 17 from 14:00h – 17:00h, while on July 18, the session will be from 10:00h – 17:00h.
The clinic caters to players ages ten to 21.
The club did a clinic from July 12-14 in which the likes of Garvin Nedd and Balram Samaroo were present, with assistance from the club’s numerous national youth players.
We have a large database of Guyanese worldwide. Most of our readers are in the USA, Canada, and the UK. Our Blog and Newsletter would not only carry articles and videos on Guyana, but also other articles on a wide range of subjects that may be of interest to our readers in over 200 countries, many of them non-Guyanese We hope that you like our selections.
It is estimated that over one million Guyanese, when counting their dependents, live outside of Guyana. This exceeds the population of Guyana, which is now about 750,000. Many left early in the 50’s and 60’s while others went with the next wave in the 70’s and 80’s. The latest wave left over the last 20 years. This outflow of Guyanese, therefore, covers some three generations. This outflow still continues today, where over 80 % of U.G. graduates now leave after graduating. We hope this changes, and soon.
Guyanese, like most others, try to keep their culture and pass it on to their children and grandchildren. The problem has been that many Guyanese have not looked back, or if they did it was only fleetingly. This means that the younger generations and those who left at an early age know very little about Guyana since many have not visited the country. Also, if they do get information about Guyana, it is usually negative and thus the cycle of non-interest is cultivated.
This Guyana Diaspora Online Forum , along with its monthly newsletter, aims at bringing Guyanese together to support positive news, increase travel and tourism in Guyana and, in general, foster the birth of a new Guyana, which has already begun notwithstanding the negative news that grabs the headlines. As the editor and manager of the publication, I am committed to delivering Blog entries and Newsletters that are politically balanced, and focused on the positive ideas we wish to share and foster among Guyanese.
