TEEYA Aryanna Motipersaud, at just 11 years of age is among the 80 students who walked the stage on Saturday at the Humanitarian Mission Guyana International’s (HGMI) second graduation ceremony for 2024.

In her thought-provoking speech at the graduation ceremony held at the HGMI’s Berbice location, Motipersaud shared that it was truly a privilege to stand before her fellow graduates and share her journey at HGMI.

“Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Teeya Aryanna Motipersaud and I am just 11 years old, proudly holding the title of the youngest student in the Basic IT class. My journey at the Humanitarian Mission Inc. began just four short months ago when I decided to pursue information technology, and you could say I started as a blank slate, ready to absorb knowledge like a sponge.”

The elated 11-year-old shared that, over the period of four months, she has delved into various aspects of information technology, commonly called IT.

This, she noted has led to her learning valuable skills in programmes such as PowerPoint, Excel, and LibreOffice, along with foundational knowledge about the world of information technology.

“Now, I can confidently say that I am proficient in typing, creating simple yet effective word documents, and developing engaging presentations. The growth I have experienced is remarkable; I have become one of the most advanced students in my Grade Seven class, all thanks to the support and structure of the Basic IT programme.” Motipersaud stated.

Driven by her curiosity and passion for learning, the young achiever has now transitioned into the Advanced IT class, eager to enhance her skills and knowledge.

The benefits of this class, she noted, extends far beyond her personal achievements.

Motipersaud related that the Mission is committed to providing high-quality education, employing only the best instructors for their programmes.
“I have had the honour of learning from Miss Keisha Marks, an exceptional teacher who embodies knowledge, kindness, and understanding. Her teaching style not only makes the material accessible but also inspires us to push our boundaries and strive for excellence. “

Additionally, she said, the Humanitarian Mission offers a diverse range of classes beyond IT, including nail art, makeup, sewing, commercial cooking and catering, cake decoration, pastry and baking, cosmetology, balloon and floral decor.

This variety accommodates the interests and talents of every student, and fosters a well-rounded learning environment that prepares them for various aspects of life.
In describing her learning environment, Motipersaud expressed, “The atmosphere at the Humanitarian Mission is another aspect I cherish. The building itself is inviting and welcoming; with air-conditioned rooms (thank you Greater Guyana Initiative) and a lovely garden filled with vibrant flowers that brings a sense of tranquillity. The security measures, including cameras, provide a sense of safety and protection, allowing us to focus wholeheartedly on our studies. The breezy and open location contributes to an environment where students like me can cultivate our thoughts clearly and work diligently towards our goals.”

She pointed out that the Humanitarian Mission Guyana Inc. is undoubtedly the best place to embark on a journey toward success, noting that it is a nurturing ground where ambition meets opportunity, empowering students to chase their dreams.

Motipersaud affirmed, “I stand before you today with a strong conviction. I am capable, willing, and determined to make a difference in the world. With the right support and investment in my potential, I believe I can effect real change. Give me and others that chance. Together, let us inspire not just ourselves but also those around us to pursue their passions and create a better future.”

The Humanitarian Mission believes that education is the pathway to change, which fosters personal growth and hope.

By equipping students with essential life skills, the Humanitarian Mission Guyana Inc. aims to inspire self-improvement and help people become the best version of themselves.
