Paria Fuel has announced an inspiring partnership with cricket legend Brian Lara to foster education and sports among youth.
Paria says this initiative underscores its commitment to enriching the communities it serves.

The bookoffers a firsthand account of Lara’s remarkable career, serving as a powerful example ofdedication and excellence.
Brian Charles Lara expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “I want to make sure that the books get into the hands of the school children and anyone willing to bring out my story. I want to thank Paria for the wonderful opportunity they have provided to me for making this possible and appreciate your contribution to this effort.”

The first group of school visits took place on Wednesday, January 8, at San Fernando Central Secondary School, Pointe-a-Pierre Government Primary School, and VOS Government Primary School.
As the legend walked into the schools, he was greeted with enthusiastic cheers of “Lara Lara Lara” from the students, who were thrilled to see him. He spent time signing books and interacting with both students and teachers. A few lucky students even had the chance to read passages from his book to him aloud.
