DELIVERING on a promise to Region Six, Mrs. Sita Nagamootoo, wife of Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo, yesterday visited two schools in the Berbice region.
Mrs. Nagamootoo’s first stop was at the Lower Corentyne Secondary School in Rose Hall, where she donated a number of items to the school’s Home Economics Department, along with sports gears.

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.

“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 order to perform well we have to be intellectual and morally prepared,” she said.

Over at Fyrish Primary School, Mrs. Nagamootoo interacted with the students, while distributing teaching aids, sport gear and a water dispenser. Management of both schools expressed gratitude to Mrs. Nagamootoo for her timely donation and visit. (DPI)
