Former US Peace Corps Officer Ms. Meggan Wazner has confessed her deep love for Karawab village, located some forty-five miles from Charity in the Upper Pomeroon River in Region Two, Pomeroon/Supenaam.

Wazner said that, during her first stint in Guyana, she was posted to Karawab to work as a Peace Corp teacher at the Ulily Primary School for two years, during which she fell in love with Karawab, its children, residents, the Pomeroon River, and the jungle and its solitude.
After she had completed her two-year assignment, she returned to the USA and spent six months; but she returned to Karawab, the village with which she had fallen in love, and is now a permanent teacher assigned to Grade Three at the Ulily Primary School.

She said she just enjoys teaching the children of that remote community, and is happy and thankful to the Government of Guyana for constructing the new school at Karawab, because it will give students more space and better facilities to pursue their education.

She works along with VSO member Ms. June Lynons, who is assigned to the school as a teacher.

Wazner said students from Bat Creek, a village located approximately one mile from the new school, are now attending classes regularly, since the community received a new boat and engine for the purpose of transporting children to and from school.(Rajendra Prabhulall in Essequibo)
