The students will be travelling overland. On Friday the 30th they will meet and interview professionals in nine areas of life in New Amsterdam. The students will do a research paper and a PowerPoint presentation on their selected aspect of the life and culture of Guyana.
The Ministry of Sports and Culture in Guyana has arranged for the group to be guided to areas of interest while they are visiting. Ms. Shaundrel Phillips, the acting principal of the New Amsterdam Multilateral school will be the Ministry’s point person assisting the group on the trip.
The New Amsterdam Library has invited the students to visit the library on Friday at 11.00 am to meet and interact with children during their weekly story telling time. Two of our students will read Surinamese stories in English for the group.
The Mayor of New Amsterdam, Mr. Henry will meet the Carinlangs students when they arrive on Thursday. They will then have a mini tour of the city.
On Saturday the group hopes to be able to visit the University of Guyana’s Berbice campus at Tain. In the evening the group will hold a mini reception at Berbice Inn for all the people who assisted them on the tour.
The group returns to Suriname on the 1st June.
This research project completes the first trimester for the Carinlangs students who began their one year BA capstone program in March. The students have already demonstrated their presentation and event management skills in a brilliant joint production with Alphamax Academy and the Indian Cultural Center celebrating Tagore’s birthday on May 10.
