GCB Guyana Cricketer Magazine 2018 launched
THE Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) launched the 2018 edition of the Guyana Cricketer Magazine at the Presidential Suite of the
Guyana National Stadium, Providence last Wednesday during the second ODI between West Indies and Bangladesh.
Present were several dignitaries, politicians, spectators, executives and staff of the GCB. Marketing Manager of the GCB Rajendra Singh gave a brief background of what the magazine captured while Secretary Anand Sanasie added his elation at the launching of the highly anticipated 2018 edition.
Joseph ‘Reds’ Perreira, who penned an article in the magazine titled ‘Reflections’, was presented with the first book.
The books were then personally distributed to several distinguished persons in attendance at the launching as well as spectators in the stands. Indeed it was the perfect atmosphere since the Windies headed for a well-deserved victory against the Bangladesh team.
The GCB would like to thank its sponsors who continue to add value to this magazine as well as the artwork team and everyone who contributed with their articles to make this year’s magazine a hefty one.
The magazine is free and can be uplifted at the GCB office on 221-222 Regent Road Bourda, Georgetown.
About the author
Guyana Diaspora Forum
We have a large database of Guyanese worldwide. Most of our readers are in the USA, Canada, and the UK. Our Blog and Newsletter would not only carry articles and videos on Guyana, but also other articles on a wide range of subjects that may be of interest to our readers in over 200 countries, many of them non-Guyanese We hope that you like our selections.
It is estimated that over one million Guyanese, when counting their dependents, live outside of Guyana. This exceeds the population of Guyana, which is now about 750,000. Many left early in the 50’s and 60’s while others went with the next wave in the 70’s and 80’s. The latest wave left over the last 20 years. This outflow of Guyanese, therefore, covers some three generations. This outflow still continues today, where over 80 % of U.G. graduates now leave after graduating. We hope this changes, and soon.
Guyanese, like most others, try to keep their culture and pass it on to their children and grandchildren. The problem has been that many Guyanese have not looked back, or if they did it was only fleetingly. This means that the younger generations and those who left at an early age know very little about Guyana since many have not visited the country. Also, if they do get information about Guyana, it is usually negative and thus the cycle of non-interest is cultivated.
This Guyana Diaspora Online Forum , along with its monthly newsletter, aims at bringing Guyanese together to support positive news, increase travel and tourism in Guyana and, in general, foster the birth of a new Guyana, which has already begun notwithstanding the negative news that grabs the headlines. As the editor and manager of the publication, I am committed to delivering Blog entries and Newsletters that are politically balanced, and focused on the positive ideas we wish to share and foster among Guyanese.
