Toshao of Akawini in the Lower Pomeroon River in Region Two, Rudolph Wilson, is requesting a new boat and engine to transport children to school in September.
According to Wilson, the community has a boat but is in need of another. He explained that the community has approximately 30 children who have to travel to acquire an education and most of their parents cannot afford to pay for private transportation.
The toshao is therefore requesting a new boat and engine for his community.
