Pueblo Science In Guyana

http://www.kaieteurnewsonline.com/2015/08/21/public-school-teachers-get-exposure-to-simplified-science-experiments/

SSCAAT takes this opportunity to correct the erroneous impression that Pueblo Science's Rural Initiative for Science Education (RISE) Guyana project did not include from the very start all the teachers to be identified by the Guyana Ministry of Education (MOE). From SSCAAT's very first meeting with Pueblo Science early in 2015, it was determined that St Stanislaus College would be co-host and partner with the Guyana MOE for the RISE Guyana project, which was designed to include as many science teachers as possible, and not just the Science teachers at St. Stanislaus College. This program was successfully implemented by Pueblo Science in the Philippines, India, Thailand, and Bolivia. We are hoping that a correction to the Kaieteur News article will be initiated by the Guyana MOE.

Alumnus Noel Denny

Congratulations to all the 2015 Guyana Cultural Association of New York Honorees and more especially to our own, Alumnus Noel Denny!

The exemplary Awardee, Noel Denny, envisioned a collective of Alumni from five Guyanese elite High Schools to establish the Last Lap Lime in Toronto. In this year of its 20th anniversary, we acknowledge his superior leadership in building emotional bonds across a set of highly competitive Alumni enclaves by forging consensus.

~ Ronald H. Lammy

Chair, The GCA Awards Committee

DEMERARA GOLD is the hilarious and thought-provoking story of a 7-year old girl in Guyana whose parents get visas to America and must leave her in the care of her two grandmothers.

One grandmother is a rigid recluse. The other grandmother is a religious fanatic. The girl's dreams are on hold until she finally gets a visa to join her parents in the U.S.

Her new home in America proves to be all that was promised but more than she bargained for.

You'll laugh 'til you cry!
