We thought we would show you some of the projects we have been doing. We will start with the schools we have worked with. The schools are all government run and financed but there is never enough funding. We usually work with schools that are recommended by members of the church.

The first school we worked with was the University of Guyana. President Pooran, a member of the District Presidency, has the responsibility of keeping us out of trouble with the government. He wanted to help the Library, this is where he went to university. The Library requested help with books, a video camera and a digital camera to record events at the school.


North Georgetown Primary School was recommended to us by Brother Bentick. His children attend here. They requested help with desks and other items. When we visited the school to see what we could help with we were amazed at the poor condition of the desks. They are designed to have two students at each desk and many of the desks had three students sitting on them. We decided to help with new desks. We had Brother Henery, a member of the church build 75 desks and benches, 25 of each of the three sizes used at the school.
Our handing over ceremony was delightful. The students sang songs with actions and the Head Mistress had an opening prayer. We had speakers and then refreshments (we always bring refreshments and the children love it).


The Turkeyen Nursery school was also recommended by Brother Bentick. They requested help with a computer, television and chairs. The children are so cute in their uniforms and we had a great time at the handing over. Again the children sang songs and recited their daily prayer.
We helped with a new computer, the old one was so slow and they would be working on it and it would go blank, it was very frustrating to them. The television was so old that when it broke the repairman told them it was not worth fixing. When they have parent meetings and activities there is nowhere for the parents to sit so we furnished them 100 plastic stackable chairs.





The #8 Primary School was recommended by Sister Samaroo, She is the Head Mistress and the wife of the Branch President of the Bushlot Branch.
The faculty are trying to start a school lunch program for the most needy children at the school. They have a charitable organization bringing lunch one day a week and the faculty provides lunch another day each week. They had a kitchen at the school but no refrigerator, pots and pans or utensils. Their library had tables but no chairs and the sick room had bed springs but no mattress. We helped them with these items and at the handing over we furnished lunch for everyone. It is so fun to help the children.
