Sarwan assists Prabhu Sharan Orphanage JANUARY 3, 2013 | BY KNEWS | FILED UNDER SPORTS Former West Indies captain, Ramnaresh Sarwan, on Monday last hosted a lunch for children of the Prabhu Sharan orphanage at Cornelia Ida, West Coast Demerara. Ramnaresh Sarwan The attractive middle order batsman who was born in Wakenaam, and was brought to the city as a four-year-old, said that he felt the need to do something for the less fortunate, especially since this was the time of the year for sharing and caring for those in need. “Giving back to society gives me a great feeling. I have done it a few times before, everyone is not fortunate as us and especially at a season like this I try to reach out to those unfortunate ones, try to make them feel comfortable at this time of the year,” Sarwan stated. Sarwan, who is part of the national T20 team for the 2013 Caribbean T20 tournament, said he plans to build a foundation for the less fortunate. He informed that with the help of others the project can become a reality. Sarwan, who is currently serving a two-year contract with English County side Leicestershire, last played for the West Indies in June 2011 during the second Test against India in Barbados, has appeared in 87 Tests, scoring 5842 runs at an average of 40.01 with 15 centuries and 31 fifties. His career-best 291 made against England is the highest Test score by a Guyanese. In 173 ODIs, he has amassed 5644 runs at an average of 43.41 with four hundreds and 38 half-centuries. Meanwhile, the Prabhu Sharan Orphanage which was founded on August, 17, 2005 caters for Hindus and orphans from various religious and social backgrounds. It currently provides accommodation for 21 orphans, from 7 to 17 years. Orphans, who have reached 18 years and would have completed their secondary education, are also assisted with job placements while those desirous of acquiring tertiary education continue to be supported by the orphanage. The orphanage was established under the Mission Statement: “The heart of our goal of this sacred mission is to make every sacrifice for the incarnation of the children through education to enable them to reach their optimum potential.” It depends solely on donations from the general public, non-governmental and government agencies and overseas based Guyanese who raise funds on a regular basis to ensure its sustainability. Also visiting the orphanage on Monday was Guyana’s National Football team Captain, Chris Nurse.
