Hugh Ross visits Essequibo schools Hugh Ross during his address to the students at Essequibo.
Students attending both the Anna Regina Secondary School and the Johanna Cecilia Secondary on the Essequibo Coast, played host to Mr. Universe Masters champion, Hugh Ross, on Tuesday. Ross was accompanied by senior representatives of Banks DIH. Ross’s visit to the Schools was aimed at initiating more interest on “Health and fitness” among the youngsters. Students upon seeing Mr. Ross in person, most for the very first time, screamed in delight as he displayed his abs. Ross, who is the ‘ambassador for the brand Malta’, a product of Banks DIH, told students that self discipline, consistency and determination are some of the basic personal value of life in which they should adopt in order to emerge into
successful youths. “Nothing good comes easily,” he noted. The Mr. Universe Masters 2010 also encouraged students not to give up on their dreams, despite of setbacks, he admonished that each hurdle could be overcome once persistence is upheld. The team from Banks DIH comprised of Muniram Singh, Essequibo Branch Manager and Mr. Clayton McKenzie, Non-Alcoholic Malta Manager, of Banks DIH, Georgetown. Ross also took the opportunity to take out photographs with students and teachers of both Secondary Schools. It was the first occasion for both students and teachers of the schools to have been graced with the presence of Guyana’s local celebrity, Mr. Universe Masters, Hugh Ross. (Yannason Duncan)
