Dear Editor,
Reference is hereby made to the Pele FC 45th Anniversary Sports and Education Awards Banquet, held on April 1, 2016 at the Georgetown Club. Editor, while this undertaking truly deserves the highest commendation and national recognition, it’s my sincere desire that the National Sports Commission gives serious consideration to the Pele FC Alumni in its National Awards Ceremony for honourable mention. This is so as the fusion of academics with sports, enables five individuals to benefit from scholarships, with the relevant benchmarks being set. Laudable indeed, and the relevant Ministries of Sport and Education along with the Guyana Football Federation are all taking note.
Meanwhile, to the Pele FC Alumni Corporation, my heartiest congratulations to your bold initiative. Additionally, not forgetting the five honorees upon their induction namely: Terrence Archer, David Chan, Dennis Hunte, Mark Joseph and Lyndon Laing, all of whom I would have interacted with during their administrative, coaching and playing careers. However, from a personal perspective I would advocate more extensive research into the administrative backgrounds, along with playing careers of future honorees.
Yours faithfully,
Lester Sealey
