The Amerindian People’s Association (APA) along with the National Toshaos Council (NTC) on Thursday met with students from the Toronto Metropolitan University to discuss the provision of social services to indigenous children and youth as well as compare child and youth services in Ontario, Canada to those offered in Guyana.

According to a press release posted on the APA’s Facebook page, the visitors were fourth-year students at the Canadian university conducting a comparative analysis of child and youth care services in Ontario, Canada, and Guyana as part of their internship programme. The initiative is a joint effort with Green Dupatta, a Toronto-based organization, and aims to gather comprehensive insights into the care services landscape in Guyana.
