At 70 years old, farmer, miner, and businessman Deleep Singh lives a fulfilling life and he likes to share his knowledge. He is involved in many social and sporting organisations that provide opportunities for people, including many young people, to help themselves. Recently, he became involved in politics at the community level. 

“I like to be helpful to my community. I don’t live isolated. To me God has put me on this earth to help people and I have helped thousands. I’m involved in many social activities and organisations. Many organisations clamour for my leadership but I am getting aged and I’m not as strong and able-bodied as before,” the social/community activist and sports administrator told Stabroek Weekend from his home in Charity, Region Two (Pomeroon/Supenaam).

At present, Singh is the president of the Essequibo Cricket Board, vice president of the Guyana Cricket Board and a director of Cricket West Indies.
