The US chapter of the old students and teachers association of the Saraswat Primary School recently donated a number of items to the school to boost its delivery of education.
According to a press release from the Region Three Administration Office the group handed over 30 stools, 42 reams of paper, ink and a computer to the De Willem, West Coast Demerara school. In his address to a small gathering including head teacher Esau Dookie, teachers and pupils, Regional Vice Chairman Manpersaud hailed the donation as a tangible contribution that will enhance the school. He said the gesture was a fine demonstration for other NGOs to emulate.
US-based Guyanese Samsaywack “Bheesham” Singh handed over the items. Singh was a teacher at the school. In his remarks Singh said the overseas chapter saw the need for the students to keep abreast of technology and that informed the content of the donation. He encouraged the students to make full use of the items and to channel their energies towards higher levels of achievement.
In his address, Dookie said over the years the growth and development of the school has been greatly enhanced by the efforts of the school’s US and Canadian chapters. He said the US chapter has given the school six computers and two printers. It also plans to donate 40 chairs for the staff. Dookie extended gratitude to the donors. He also said the items will reduce the economic burden on the school and enhance the delivery of education.
