Georgetown : Chenapau village located at Region Eight received an aluminum boat and a 40- Horse power engine, handed over through the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs on behalf of President Donald Ramotar.
The items were presented to the Village’s toshao David Garcia by Permanent Secretary Nigel Dharamlall at the Amerindian Affairs Ministry in Thomas Street.
Dharamlall said that the village requested from the president a few months ago a boat and engine, to transport the children from the village to their school in Mahdia.
“It is one of the most remote villages in Guyana, hence his Excellency thought that it is important as part of widening education development as our country is working towards universal secondary education,” Dharamlall explained.
Many of the students of Chenapau attend the Mahdia Secondary School and transportation is one of their challenges.
Garcia thanked the President and the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs for providing them with the boat and engine valued $1.5M.
