Delivering on a promise to Region Six, Mrs. Sita Nagamootoo, wife of Prime Minister, Moses Nagamootoo, today visited two schools in the Berbice region.
Mrs. Nagamootoo’s first stop was at the Lower Corentyne Secondary School in Rose Hall, where a number of items were donated to the school’s Home Economics Department, along with sport gear.
In brief remarks to students, Mrs. Nagamootoo reminded of the importance of education and wished the students much success in their studies. She also encouraged them to heed the advice of their teachers and parents.
She spoke to students about self-esteem.
“First of all, you have to say to yourself that I am very important and I want to be the very best person that I can be in my society and country and when you set your goal, you have to work to achieve that goal. Each of us has a purpose and is here to perform a special duty and in other to perform well we have to be intellectual and morally prepared.”
Over at Fyrish Primary School, Mrs. Nagamootoo interacted with the students, while teaching aids, sport gear and a water dispenser were distributed.
She gave assurance of another visit to the region.
Management of both schools expressed gratitude to Mrs. Nagamootoo for her timely donation and visit.
