Help needed in Cedros

THE EDITOR: Please grant me a space in your paper to state some of the facts or problems we have been facing in Cedros for the past twelve to fifteen years. To be honest since I left the Cedros Government School there have been no sports or no sporting facility to keep the youths active - what was once a pavilion is now a “weed” house for juvenile delinquents. Please I am pleading to the authority to address us. We are in need of help. It seems that the Minister of Sports as well as the other Ministers do not care about what is taking place in Cedros. As the saying goes Cedros is behind God’s back. I guess the Ministers are practising that saying.

I have lived in Cedros for the past eighteen and a half years, and from what I have observed, is that there are a lot of young talented and good athletes living in Cedros. And due to the fact that we are not getting introduced to the rest of the country we are forced to give up our ability as well as our liking. Therefore we have no other choice but to pick up bathing on the beach for a hobby since that’s what really left of Cedros, the beach for us to play. Despite the non-existence of any sporting facility the youths are still making the best of what they have, for eg, night cricket is going on at present and I am sure there would be no football competition due to the fact that the recreation grounds are in a deteriorating state. Other than that there isn’t any other sports being played. I can go on and on, but I guess I would not make the Government look or feel bad.
