Dear Editor,
Last night I was inspired and so deeply moved by a discussion hosted by the Oil and Gas Governance Network called: The crude truth: Living on a teacher’s salary. The beautiful speakers were teachers Martin Samaroo and Mehalai McAlmont and lecturer Charlene Wilkinson from the University of Guyana.
I encourage everyone to listen to this show. As a university teacher myself for thirty years primarily in the UK (Cambridge University) and Canada (Queen’s University and the University of Toronto), I owe my foundation of learning to the primary, secondary and tertiary teachers of Guyana who prepared me with care and love. The least we can do is listen to what they have to say, these caretakers of our children. The link can be found here:

Alissa Trotz
