Although never an athlete or a sports fanatic, community activist Debra Daniels is now using sports and recreation as the vehicle for the development of young people.
Daniels, 34, calls herself the “self-appointed caretaker” of young people in her community of Zorg, on the Essequibo Coast.
“Today I am waist deep, maybe, going to the neck deep in sports. I am into coaching of athletes and I do the secretarial and management of groups under my purview,” Daniels told Stabroek Weekend in a recent telephone interview.
