The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) donated several pieces of equipment to coach Clifford Anthony colloquially known as ‘Zebulun’ of the Albouystown community on Monday.
This was disclosed by an official release from the federation. According to the correspondence, GFF President Wayne Forde presented a quantity of balls, cones and training vests to the coach, who also serves as a mentor for the young boys and girls of the community.
Forde, who also participated in several exhibition matches, said, “I know how important football is to all of you and I can see how well you can play because of the many hours you spend in the streets playing. I want to ask you a big favor – please also spend some of that time on your school work in the evening. Education is your safest bet to having a better life. I will continue to provide Coach Zebulun with more equipment to do this important work and will be back here to officially launch an Inter-Street weekend knock out competition for boys, girls and adult players as well. It is my intention to visit many more inner city communities and support the work of community coaches.
The outreach was coordinated by Coach Sampson Gilbert.
