Shemar Britton’s exploits with a table tennis racquet have not gone unnoticed at least not by the Department of Sport.

Yesterday, Director of Sport, Steve Ninvalle made a financial donation to Britton’s mother, Dawn Britton, to help the scholar/athlete attend a High Performance Training Camp later this year or early next year.

This is after Britton became the only Guyanese male player to qualify for the upcoming Pan American Games scheduled for next month in Santiago, Chile.

Director of Sport, Ninvalle, said that the donation to Britton was just the government, through the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport and the National Sports Commission, fulfilling its mandate to its people.
